Never frail
Pushing forward lioness
Her hand comforts
Her love radiates
She's the healing sun
My sun

When daylight fades  
Through spilling moonlight...her silhouette is drawn
She sits still
She pours her soul till she floods the moon
And the heavens pour down her  requests

She's a rock, my rock
Never frail
Pushing forward  lioness
Her hand comforts
Her love radiates
She's the healing sun
My sun

She's my mother

When the sweet winds blow
A silent ophidian
Slumbers with in the lifeless soul
The words of hate borne proudly by the sender
And the act of revenge
From the serpents bite render

And the bough will break
Under the weight of a brittle heart
The perfume of stale bitterness
Do the drifting breezes impart
For there is no logic to be found
In the deep caverns of the heart

So the bough will break
The branch weakened fell broken and decayed
And the burden of love over my eyes did lay
Happiness shrouded by despair now forever stay
Though its said the light commands all
And darkness shun the day

The bough will break.
