Once upon a time

In a land distant to all

Lived a young enchantress whose beauty chimed

And a kind prince whose virtue stood tall

----------------------------------------

Happily in each other they lived

Gently tending to their people

Unaware of the jealousy conceived

In the heart of one of her fellow pupil

----------------------------------------

For the young sorcerer for himself wanted to claim

The tender fairness of the enchantress

Disregarding her wishes and willing to maim

Her lover if it meant from her he would get a caress

----------------------------------------

And so, in cruel mutiny to her heart and the country

The sorcerer upheld a vicious coop

And with murderous intent and a bloodlust cry

He felled the gentle prince in one fell swoop

----------------------------------------

Wounded by the slaughter of her beloved

The enchantress cried out in rage

That she would never let herself by the sorcerer be loved

Not even after she perished of old age

----------------------------------------

And just as the fair Enchantress felt her heart tear inside her

An unrelenting anger burned in the sorcerer's selfish gaze

As he dastardly declared that she would not perish any sooner

Than after she lived eternally, as she could only look in a daze

----------------------------------------

And so, the wicked sorcerer cursed the beauteous youth

To a life of never-ending immortality

Laughing in a manner most uncouth

Destining her soul to part from her lover’s for eternity
