No one knew her truly.
She was but a shadow.
A ghoul, chasing from 
Room to room
Any thoughts of rebellion,
Any chance of freedom.
They say that light comes
To those that die,
But I say that only the 
Curtain of night awaits.
And even in that midnight
The faint pinpricks of light
Are enough to keep the
Dead from re-living
The wrongs in their life.
So go, then, go.
Go on and be.
Join with those pinpricks
As a new constellation
We look to when dying.
And we will make
New sayings and new tales
Of the ghosts of the North.
