Two-pound torch
CryptopsyThe quiet defendant sat paralysed in disbelief
Her hands would be severed, she would be hung and then burnt
I turned to console her but she was already being ushered away
Her life had never been an easy one
Forced to procreate like beasts in dark stables
She wept whenever she laid her head down to sleep
To escape would be her only refuge
From this trivial life she had been forced to lead
Her lover's empty promises
Drove her towards these drastic measures
Her timeline was ticking with the spring thaw quickly approaching
Aware that she would be whisked away with the free flowing currents
She had to react
The tiny witness who pointed her out
Giggles today as she walks towards the schoolhouse
But Angelique had no freedom ever since that gavel fell
The shovel full of coals is what persuaded the judge
At the gallows she stood before them
With quivering lips she begged for absolution
But when the hangman tripped the switch
Her body finally fell towards its fate
Afterwards the empty carcass was flunt upon the pyre
Her neighbors and comrades all watched as the hem of her skirt ignited
They all cheered with glee as the flames consumed her

A partir desta vida trivial ela tinha sido forçada a levar
Promessas vazias de seu amante
Levou-a para estas medidas drásticas
Sua linha de tempo foi passando com o degelo da primavera se aproximando rapidamente
Ciente de que ela seria levada para longe com as correntes de fluxo livre
Ela teve que reagir
A pequena testemunha que apontou para ela
Risos hoje como ela caminha para a escola
Mas Angelique não tinha liberdade, desde que o martelo caiu
A pá cheia de carvão é o que convenceu o juiz
Na forca ela estava diante deles
Com lábios trêmulos, ela implorou para absolvição
Mas quando o carrasco acionou o interruptor
Seu corpo finalmente caiu para seu destino
Posteriormente a carcaça vazia foi flunt sobre a pira
Seus vizinhos e companheiros tudo assistiu como a bainha de sua saia inflamado
Todos eles aplaudiram com alegria quando as chamas consumiram a
