moonlight casts shadows on the deeds of the just
and the sun brings to light the worst of crimes
long ago their world was lost
long ago their exile began
now their time is dwindling
their Adversary moves quick
but their stygian wings are swift
their souls carrying the memory
of their crimson sacred goddess
even as they give up hope
and accept that they may never find
the promised land
they are velotha's flock

seeking a Promised Land
or at least a place to roost
