Throes of Atonement

On the riverbank, she stood there motionless And looked at her, malicious devilish The Queen of gloat – her beauty she won’t mourn Dissident, she stood there sacrosanct A spouse of Christ, saint untouchable And she despised – the brightness of her mind A jig of misery, the ballet of the fallen A sad sad song, untuned and lorn blown out by the wind For all the harm you’ve done Now penance has begun Betrayers, deceivers Rats and unbelievers I stare into their eyes Fragments before she died Just craving for some help Throes of atonement A rivalry, adolescent jealousy Burning deep, reducing in cinder and flames The beliefs of a childhood’s tail An unclean creature, Chimera of the Old One Preacher, impure and servant of heathenry She deserves her destiny A jig of misery, the ballet of the fallen A sad sad song, untuned and lorn blown out by the wind For all the harm you’ve done Now penance has begun Betrayers, deceivers Rats and unbelievers I stare into their eyes Fragments before she died Just craving for some help Throes of atonement
