the sun falls behind the shadowed mountains  as darkness descends over the forest  flames flicker in the distance  unholy chants and footsteps can be heard  hooded figures emerge from bushes  flaming torches in hands  prepare the knife and golden chalice  for fresh blood that is to flow  blackest hell envelopes the sight  as the ritual commences  a black figure comes forth  robe drops to the ground  a naked virgin stands within the circle  ice winds freeze her flesh  fear dominates her mind  behold  repentance is nigh  no flesh will be pierced  the chalice remains empty  a virgin is spared a grim death  as involvement is renounced  angels assist her escape  as she is clothed once more  disappearing through thicket  to a new life of freedom  liberty
