lyrics
Her name was Isabella
Born under their umbrella
Raised in darkened servitude
Trapped inside their cellar
Into the church she was hurled
Nun the wiser to the world
Her life was always simple
With just habits and a wimple
The price of her purity
Suppressed her femininity
Imprisoned by the walls of
Her faith in Christianity
She only finds her freedom
In the darkness of her mind
Each day desire lusting
To leave it all behind
Her shadow takes her places
She only dreamt before
The dragon that she chases
Takes her beyond the law
Fell from her simple perch
To break free from the church
Went against the grain
No longer to abstain
Thrashing through the fires
Of her repressed desires
Finds her heaven on earth
And leaves behind their hell
Exploring the darkness
Hidden in her mind
Steps into the shadow
Of the pleasure she does find
Her true self awakening
In the face of the reckoning
She rides her black horse
The shadow is beckoning
Her shadow takes her places
She only dreamt before
The dragon that she chases
Takes her beyond the law
No longer to abide
No longer to confess
Now she is beyond the law
Now she screams for more
Free from their reign of terror
She steps out from their umbrella
Her true self born again
The awakening of Isabella
Devouring her shadow
Let's it come to light
Steps into the new dawn
Of her own truth burning bright
Wine flows like water
To Gods own daughter
Restless here before me
Wild rushes cut her free
And she dances
Naked in the flames
Her shadow takes her places
She only dreamt before
The dragon that she chases
Takes her beyond the law
No longer to abide
No longer to confess
Now she is beyond the law
Now she screams for more
