Hail! Bright Cecilia - part 1
I knew a woman three days ago
But they knew her a second more.
How intense, the flame
Burns
Up her match till the end,
So close in sight is joy consumed
And sparked by fright
Squinting, the heat
Ignited us it was no use,
We could not escape
Gold
Bathed our feet
And burnt our souls
Petrified
Now we kneel
Before this pure goddess
Wrapped in silk and secret fears
Encased in maple and screaming tears
But they knew her a second more.
How intense, the flame
Burns
Up her match till the end,
So close in sight is joy consumed
And sparked by fright
Squinting, the heat
Ignited us it was no use,
We could not escape
Gold
Bathed our feet
And burnt our souls
Petrified
Now we kneel
Before this pure goddess
Wrapped in silk and secret fears
Encased in maple and screaming tears
