From tragic heights she falls
Wings bloodied and torn
Once an angel now pariah
By her own kind scorned

She loved a mortal man
Her heart burned from within
Passion's carnal dance
Was deemed a deadly sin

She falls so helpless
Her broken wings bleed
Hurled from heaven
For carrying a mortals seed

Underneath cruel stars
From heaven's celestial dome
She plummets through black clouds
Beaten and disowned

As she falls earthward
She thinks of her romance
Her eyes swell with tears
At her draconian penance

She falls so helpless
Her broken wings bleed
Hurled from heaven
For carrying a mortals seed

As jagged peaks draw close
As she despairs and screams
For her tragic fate
And her broken dreams

They tore away her wings
So she fell from the sky
Her divinity was stripped
So her shame would die

Bereft and breathless
A solemn hero mourns
For his angelic love
And the tragedy she's borne

On the seashore I espy the dreadful void under the tides
