If all that was left was the cry of an angel
Who would that angel be?
If all that was left was the grin of a demon
What had made it grin so?
Was it a girl falling from grace?
Feeling like she's fallen flat on her face
She sits in an isolated place
trying to solve this case
Does she cry?
As she emerges from the embers
is it your place to question why?
Like a phoenix from fire
She tries to defeat the liar
the prosecutor
the tyranny
of her society
