A girl, known, as an immaculate infant, never cried,
Grew up, like wildflowers, to assume her rights never tried;
Turned out to be the best gymnast at the age of thirteen,
Paralyzed due to sabotage, yet, in truth, a gym queen...!
Vanessa Eichholz, Ilsa, faces all ally forces,
Seemingly emotionless, Ilsa fights all hard courses;
As strong as iron and brave as a lioness, she rose,
An entire army, as lifeless glazier boulders she froze...!
As the German Occult Bureau shines in a Nazi role,
With Project Ragna Rok, Ilsa attains her idol goal;
Gets attacked by the Hellboy who bursts through the castle roof,
Ilsa enters the magic Iron Maiden; lives shellproof...!
