Singing that died away

The nightingale silenced

In this world, our decadence

The sweetness turned sour



Naked and bled

Her blackened wings spread

Feathers - burned and frayed

Sore and sick she fades



The nestling falls down

Dead on earth

As sickness takes hold

Of the essence



Naked and bled

Her blackened wings spread

Feathers - burned and frayed

Sore and sick she fades



Together we die

Born unable

Expose the filth

Suppressed within
