Ceremonial Sarcophagus

Ceremonial sarcophagus,

Where they'd laid

The young lass down,

Was adorned with

Flowers of the earth

In hopes the

Crops would

Come around...

...She was spoken of

Quite highly!...

Her courage

Was a thing

Worth praise...

...And as the

Night Man

Drew his dagger,

The spirit vanished

From her face...

When the flashing

Tip of death

Plunged down

Into her chest

She screamed!...

...She died slim

Seconds later

As they

Made good

On their dream.

Ceremonial sarcophagus,

Where they'd laid

The young lass down,

Was adorned with

Flowers of the earth

In hopes the

Crops would

Come around.
