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
