I laugh when you call in the light

For you don’t know what you’re asking,

You wanted warm and fuzzy

Instead you got a huntress on a horse

Chasing you down, a white-hot beam

Shining right on your most painful places.

Oh fool, did no one warn you

This light you long for would first

Sear you so badly that only

The bravest of you would come

Through its flame of fiery scrutiny

With the nobility that is your birthright?
