Flying fast like the dream of an aeroplane
  she skims the trees and leaves them afire.
  No one can touch her now.
  A laugh in her wake, she spirals higher.
 
  Waves of sound spread beneath her and terrify
  beast and man alike in the countryside.
  She rules this land with fear
  where strong men run and giants hide.
 
  Something in her memory
  insists it didn't used to be this way.
  Visions of a different life, she shrugs them off
  and, like a knife expertly thrown, swoops down
  upon unlucky prey.
 
  solo
 
  Grabs a man in her teeth and ascends again.
  Fierce talons tear his armor away.
  She's seen his face before
  in an evil dream on a distant day
  ...today...
 
  solo
 
  Thrashing wings bring her down to the earth again.
  She gives her catch an appraising stare.
  Bites back a wave of fear.
  He mouths a silent prayer.
 
  One claw through his heart, he collapses.
  Her nightmare fades and she's on her bed.
  He's naked on the floor,
  her scissors in his chest.
  He lies in a pool of red.
