Act II: "The Hatch"

Where am I? The equinox elected
me as its witness

the glacier melts its inner essence
for it to achieve the estuary

pure it goes sparkling at the cows
the sun, the cliffs , the sea

to sacrifice (me, revealing) the pureness i bring inside
as maidens are doomed to become wives

mother Earth, father Fire from the Oceans i rise
I take Air as my bride

i spread my never seen wings, the eagles scream
as their sovereign turned to life again

over the mountains, the green way leads
to the unpure human settlements

(his unconscious speaks but he doesn't hear it)

oh Lord of Thunder i don't deserve this
intercede for my fate please....

Opal stone darkly glistens from the highs
The offerer prepares the altar for his son

the busy father, hands the child
unacquainted for his horrid gown and fate...

I fly over them as their
devotion sways

to leave place to the prize
the rite sweares you'll gain

(the eagle lands next to the settlement where the ritual is going to have its tragic epilogue and gently takes the guy in her nails to fly him away from his fate, then she takes the countenance of a man and faces the crowd he will be sacrificed instead of him,terror brings the men to destroy everything they don't know, now he is forced to go to town and to be used as an example,so it will but they don't know it will be their own nightmare...)
