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
