Lyrics

Out in the waste lands
There was a town called Hope
There lived a young girl
She kept a secret hidden

The town secluded
The people lived in fear
They lacked protection
Their every move forbidden

“Esperanza
Please have mercy
We mean no harm”

“Do as I say
I’ve got you where I want
Hold to my charms”

There was no way of knowing
How things turned out this way
She was always a kind girl
Blindly led astray

When a stranger provided
Talisman control
Esperanza took over
Servants to her goal

As years passed over
Cruelty consumed her heart
Outside decayed flesh
Her soul possessed by dark arts

“Our time is now
She’s frail weakened
We strike, with ease”

“You won’t succeed
My power holds you here
Fall to you knees”

Suddenly from the shadows
The stranger then appeared
Hooded black with a long sword
They collapsed in fear

“I have come here to judge you
Payment for your crimes
Gluttony, lust and envy
Treated as playtime”

“But your sentence has been served
You shall soon be free
Esperanza’s my puppet
She belongs with me”

And with that she was taken
Talisman held tight
Wailing, squirming, and captured
Vanishing in haze of black night
