Work Text:

she walks in vengeance

she walks in vengeance, like the night
of moon-dust hills and starry skies
and all that's best of dark and light
meet in her magic implanted eyes
nothin' mellows her fierce fight
the hive's own logic she defies

no shade or nightmare can impress
the hate with which she gives her chase
she glares on death without distress
and kindles hope in the darkest place
she won't never stab you in the back
if she gonna stab, it's in your face

an' on her cheeks her black tears drip
her three eyes glow with green soulfire
she got a wish ball an' a tomb ship
an' yet she hangs out with a liar
who shoots his own crew from the hip
an' loves her with his self entire
