Let beauty live

Rage!

do not tire

Grace do forgive

and save her from the fire

Queen of love betrays us

The peace we crave forgotten

Our 'ruler' ran a circus

her 'peace' was misbegotten

And this madness raises higher

though she'd save us from the fire


Cracked her heart and bled her dry

Sirens sang their fraudulent song

and we stole into her mind

She breathed her last in burning smoke

infernal heat so strong

Her champions fell aghast- they broke

and fair beauty's time was gone


The beauty queen forgave and

while we threw her to the flames

She gave; we craved!

She gave! She gave!


The peace was long decayed in us

No life was spared nor saved

No love was not all up and trussed

and she leapt into the flames
