They cried  \nWith fur soaked in the blood of Faith  \nWho had been hunted down untried.**_\n\n_**What felt of an eternity  \nHad doubt filled my lungs to the brim.  \nTo the brim with a burning air  \nThat fed my soul with thoughts so grim.**_\n\n_**Thoughts so grim one would never see  \nThe light that shines from the sun bright.  \nThe eyes lose sight of anything  \nThat could radiate colors. Light**_\n\n_**T'was a memory; nothing more.  \nAs shadows danced with the light  \nForming figures that one could read.  \nThen those shadows formed a sight**_\n\n_**That bore the name [iRenia](%5C).  \nWho knew that the shadows could make  \nSuch a lovely contrast with light  \nTo form an image for my sake.**_\n\n_**Her shadow is what forms a light  \nThat had brightened my soul once more.  \n[She](%5C) freed my hope with [her](%5C) image.  \nAnd so I love her evermore.**_\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
