Trapped in heavy storms

disaster struck,

where the

Troops were bogged down,

winds from north,

brought hunger, grief

confusing, disturbing

the crew and endless hesitation

Gods gave the law

To learn by enduring

She clawed into

her father's robes.

He sent a prayer up

He Told his servants

To grab her tight

Just like a goat above the blood stone,

her head pulled back

Her throat faces the bloodstone,

her beautiful eyes bound,

so she couldn't curse at her house

"I long for wind-stilling sacrifice,

right it is!

So be it salutary to us!"

Gods gave the law

To learn by enduring

So cry woe!

And again

Act, suffer, learn.

but good triumphs!

"Heavy weighs calamity,

if we don't follow prophecy.

if I don't dip my hand into sacrificial blood

of my child!"

Pleading looks

at her butchers,

an image, still and silent,

Willing to speak,

in pure voice,

for the love of her father

Gods gave the law

To learn by enduring

So cry woe!

And again

Act, suffer, learn.

but good triumphs!

So cry Woe!
