Black Annis

(Prelude #1)
 --------
 When Annis built this cage
 I saw the blueprint on the table
 But I was too young to run
 She lured me from my play
 To her clandestine domain
 To tend her illicit garden
 Black, black soul
 And Annis takes her toll
 And from her veil of black
 With all the mirrors at her back
 She called me into her guarded empire
 I treaded soft and lightly
 Fear trembling so slightly
 Snows in my bones I dream of the white sea
 Black, black soul
 And Annis takes her toll
 Child of sin
 Black Annis wins again
 When Annis roared and jeered
 I knew that no one leaves from here
 Her fervid anger don't spare anything
 In the frenzy of my senses
 She confiscated my defenses
 With all the forces of night
 When Annis built this cage
 I saw the blueprint on the table
 But I was too young to run
 She lured me from my play
 To her clandestine domain
 To tend her illicit garden
 Black, black soul
 And Annis takes her toll
 Child of sin
 Black Annis wins again
 Black, black soul
 And Annis takes her toll
 Child of sin
 Black Annis wins again
 Black, black soul
