Lady Soledad

The morning rose without a reason Your breaths are numbered for today The night will come to those still breathing And your hopes have all been burned away Ten thousand nights ago a choice was made in Bremen 30 bags of gold would seal your fate Silent swords slit their throats while they were sleeping Muffled cries concealed the one escape One lonely soul left breathing Binds her time her mind is seething Memories you had have faded Riches buried in the sand One hundred lives were sold or traded One hundred more were murdered by your hand One child alone kept dreaming A vow to keep a debt to pay The bells of Aachen telling you The wait is over Lady Soledad awaits The roaring crowd, it roars for you The wait is over Lady Soledad awaits The child grows as does her anger Resolved to set them all ablaze Chess pieces move with merciless precision Unsheathing hell on evil minds she plays A cornered beast lies screaming Your only hope a sharpened blade The bells of Aachen telling you The wait is over Lady Soledad awaits The roaring crowd, it roars for you The wait is over Lady Soledad awaits
