Her sorrowful blue eyes sparkle with tears,
Showing to the world all of her fears
She knows what she did was wrong,
She's been pleading with the god all night long
'It was only this once,
You know I hold you in reverence'
The tears kept flowing from her eyes,
She knew it was her own demise
'You are no longer innocent,' he said,
'For you have bled'
The god was tiring of her cries,
He knew all of her words were lies
He turned her eyes and tears black,
For the truth she clearly lacked
He removed her mouth before she could speak,
He'd known all along that she was weak
He turned her skin to alabaster stone,
For her crimes she must atone
The god had her removed from the Great Hall,
To the side of the entryway, on display for all
She was still alive in her mind,
To spend all of eternity enshrined
She'll forever be in torment,
Every day a new chance to repent
