The knife slipped in much easier than she expected. Her anger brought her to the very hilt, his blood pouring over her fingers, softening her grip. The embers of their final conflict softly died to silence, their eyes locked as he faded away.
"Your holy words are worth no more than my spit. It was always me. It was always going to end just like this - your blood, my hands."
Invisible behind her veil, she tearfully smiled as he dropped to the floor, his life pooling around him, the light fading from his eyes.
And the last thing he saw was her headdress strike the ground.
Dark Hair Down
Vallen/Grey/Greensill
Down
It was his neck or her wrist
Clean nails on iron fist
Dreams of peace beyond the wall
She'd cry out for mercy but she had no voice at all
Here
Here and now it ends
This quiet victory
Her promise she would make amends
He lay not yet cold on the ground
This day of all days she would wear her dark hair down
This time the wheel has come around
Free of her cage she crows with a fearless sound
"Your fists can't hurt me now"
A fearless sound
She'll wear her dark hair down
Down
And blood brought the answer that time could not provide
Scars that read like home could hide
Her prison swallowed everything but piercing open eyes
She proudly bore the mark
Where his brand had met her head
She spat "The coward could not kill what was already dead."
Dark hair down
This time the wheel has come around
Free of her cage
A fearless sound
Stand and fight
This is my salvation
Blood for blood my love
With a fearless sound
"Your fists can't hurt me now"
A fearless sound
She'll wear her dark hair down
Blood for blood my love
