Unbeaten
Heaven forget the sweet angel's cry,
Her sorrowful weep as she fell
From the sky,
Fragile wings torn from her bone,
Mourning and loving,
A heart of cold stone.
Holding onto those whispers, those
Screams of defeat,
No one hath turned as she fell
To their feet.
A shaking little tremble, as weak
As a leaf,
She shrunk so slightly, fallen
Hard to the street.
And birds they chirped of
a happier place,
the music gave way to a garden
of Eden,
but you hid away without
a trace,
and marked your soul
Unbeaten.
Every night they planned to meet,
yes, dear friend, that was their
plan,
until an old genius, he told the
crown, and now she's gone spiraling,
Down,
Down,
Down.
There was an old crone, who told
the angel to beware,
lest the king he craved her soul,
but little did she heed, and even
less did she care,
and now exile seems so cold.
A year and a month, a week before,
the Angel and Devil met,
the babe she was with was thought to
be lore,
and together they both wept.
The babe was taken, after being born,
the King he found it, and marked
it no more.
A demon of devil, a babe of angel,
it was taken, it was beaten,
Not to be raised in the holy of Eden.
The Angel she begged, "please do not,
throw my love!
You've taken my babe, enough
is enough!" But the evil king
scoffed, and with his general's hand,
the devil was cast out of
Eden's fair
land.
So down the Devil was thrown,
Father than the Angel was to be,
farther than the earth, where
nothingness was grown,
and loneliness was a vast and
sorry sea.
"And now for you," the king he sneered,
"Your punishment is earth, forever
a human, never to come back,
this is where your choices have steered."
And so she was thrown, to earth
she was dropped,
without a husband, without a babe,
left on earth was the wise old crone,
who'd warned her, "Stay alone."
But if she listened close, she could
hear the birds chirping of a happier
place,
And the music giving way to a
Garden of Eden,
But she hid away without
a trace,
and marked her soul
Unbeaten.
