Grave Mistake |
| Mother, why? |
| — Hast thou forsaken me |
| Let me die — This prison made for me |
| Cold, numb, longing to succumb — fetal creature wise and heaven-wrought |
| Lost, stark, clawing in the dark — Cosmic consciousness devoid of thought |
| Mother — mother of light |
| Ancient — hidden from sight |
| This curse, this wretched joy — Bequeathed unbidden to her, this blighted baby |
| boy |
| The hooded figures crown her, the harbinger of doom — Anointed unrepentant, |
| destined for Earthly tomb |
| Proud, strong, whispering her song — Lullabies to soothe the seething beast |
| Black, night, hex protects from fright — And fire burns to warm their fragile |
| peace |
| Father — father of sky |
| Warrior — destined to die |
| What’s this infernal racket, upon the cabin door? |
| — Pitchforks and torches |
| blazing, these cries of «Burn the whore!»? |
| Their dirty fingers grabbing, their greedy mouths agape — Their crucifixes |
| gleaming, prohibiting escape |
| The townsfolk said, «We'll chop off her head! |
| We’ll feed the worms this lustful, |
| loathsome hag!» |
| With daggers drawn, for her and her spawn, «We'll burn the farmer’s daughter |
| bound and gagged!» |
| Once she was beautiful, once she was his bride |
| They tied her to a stake |
| She burnt alive |
| The madding crowd shouted out loud, «That wanton wench, we’ll hang her by the |
| heels! |
| Thy kingdom come, the Lord’s will be done! |
| We’ll gut the suckling piglet while |
| he squeals!» |
| Once she was beautiful, once she was his bride |
| They tied her to a stake |
| She burnt alive |
| It thus begins, always in an end |
| Mother will have her revenge |
| Mother will have her revenge |
