Legs bound with cold iron
So you cannot flee
Wings wrapped in a glamour
For no human eyes to see
Stranded in the mortal realm
No magic to sustain your youth
A terrible price to pay
For seeking out the truth
Exiled from all Sidhe lands
Sent far from kith and kin
Judged by both Seelie courts
Guilty of our greatest sin.
