Through the thicket's vines A damp web sprawls, the insects crawl. Deep, I will cut, Desire lines, straight to the heart. Inside the anarchy Of knotted boughs with hanging crowns, Paths, I will carve, With my blade, I'll penetrate. Green, an endless green, A tangled mess of living things. Cleave, I will split The tender stems of virgin trees. Go, Go, Go with your God! True chaos reigns, The birds here screech a constant din.

She lifted herself and she rose from her knees, Reclaiming her blade from the bloodthirsty leaves, She cut through the roots with a murderous swipe, Now she was the butcher, she had the knife. Filled with a strength that only fear can bring, Adrenaline flowed through her every limb. She roared like a lioness, shaking the night, And empowered she sprinted deep into the lightTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
