Oh cursed land blessed with celestial-borne light,
That of unparalleled life, perpetual creation,
Pinnacled glory,
Welcomed purity,
Striking is her breadth,
Mighty her brag,
And so deadly her unlocked face,
Now fortuned but marked,
Savory to each and every phantom,
She welcomes such hunger,
As foreignness grapples for a piece,
Jealousy riding the tail,
To thieve all once good,
The ensuing kiss,
The death,
For such wonder attracts such spite,
She is doomed and departed,
Golden-tarnished,
Wicked, scorned,
Tragic is the fate,
Izefia was known.
