I.
I was flying down Midgard when in the dying of the light
I saw a pretty little bud killing with glee
She said, I never seen a drake, who joins in human fights
Oh, could you burn a little greenery?
If you slay the white weed, you’ll witness how I bleed
And you can come and send me to my bed
I said, That’s such a wretched bud, how’d you get this on yourself
She looked at me and this is what she said:

II.
There ain’t no rest for the wicked
Kiddies don’t eat for free
I got men to lay, I got hearts to bleed
There ain’t nothing in this girl but seed
Oh no, I won’t wash up, I won’t back down
And I don’t think that I could
Oh no, there ain’t no rest for the wicked
Until I kill myself for good

III.
Not even fifteen pages later I’m still flying down Midgard
When I caught the shadow of a death reap out of light
And then my egg was left behind, I was so young and far too kind
She made it clear she would be looking for a fight
She said, Claw with all you’ve got, we’ll gut my sisters and my eye
But if you try to save a life, you’ll be my knife
I told her, Love you til I die, but first you know I gotta cry
Why won’t you try to live a happy life?

IV.
She said: There ain’t no rest for the wicked
Zombies don’t walk for free
I got queens to slay, I got saints to cleave
There ain’t nothing in this girl but seethe
Oh no, I won’t save you, I won’t spare god
And I don’t think that I could
Oh no, there ain’t no rest for the wicked
Until I kill myself for good

V.
Well now a couple timelines passed and I was ringing round the rose
The world was sounding down and coming to an end
And so I turned on my bestie and slipped it over to a noose
And what I heard I almost couldn’t reprehend
I saw an angel bathed in salt, she’d shaken petals from her eye
She’d stuffed her branch record with righteous angel kills
And even still I can’t pray much because I know she longed to die
Oh yes, she saved the world for hate and spite and will

0.
You know there weren’t no rest for my singer
Ditties don’t toll for free
She had worlds to save, she had fates to weave
There weren’t nothing in that girl but pleas
Oh no, she can’t be here, she can’t hold me
Though you know I wish she could
Oh no, there weren’t no rest for my singer
Until she sealed herself for good
