Binding, shackling,
Ropes chafe on gray-furred skin.
Twinkling, mocking,
The betrayer stars wink down.
I roar to the sky,
Earth-shattering.
Rolling down the sky's velvet, the night
It is all more beautiful in the night,
The stars will watch you, littling.
A-ya, a-ya`a-ray,
A-ya, a-ya`a-ray.
But the stars don't watch, mra.
They laugh.
They mock.
The nehari don't like my sorrow.
They scorn it.
Monster. How can you cry?
I weep, tears like stars on the bloody hay
Darkened diamonds
Aged, hurting eyes.
I can still see you, mra,
You didn't know you were to die that night.
I didn't know I was to leave that night.
Snow falls, mra,
Outside my tiny world.
Hands held up high,
Ropes holding them to steel.
Steel binds.
Rope chafes.
I can't wait any longer, mra.
I need to be with you.
You said we'd be together,
Te`eysh mnreh urtik drugan, parnlih.
I'll see you again, littling.
A-ya, a-ya`a-ray,
A-ya, a-ya`a-ray.
Efa-lhen so`ha hah yanai irrn pel.
Take me away from here.
