Far between su

We ducked insi

As majestic be

             
lls of bolts, 

             
struck shadows

        
 in the sounds
             
Seeming to be 

             
the chimes of 

            
freedom flashi

 the unarmed r

       
oad of flight
             
And for each a

And we gazed u

             
pon the chimes

            
 of freedom fl

Electric light

             
s still struck

              
 like arrows, 

             
fired but for 

    
the ones
             
Condemned to d
