The Queen and Her Slave

She closed the eyes of a serpent

After she kissed it's venom

She's nobody's working servant

She'll be running her own kingdom

Take her hand and you'll be begging

For your grip to come undone

Read these words until the ending

You'll see the wrongs of my son

 

She took away the voice I once knew

And kissed the lips on her that were true

She broke another window here

I'm losing faith in my fear

 

With every breath that she takes

I'll be lying here awake

Until I see that door open

Oh mother keep it closed

With every breath that she takes

I'll be lying here awake

Until I see that door open

Oh mother keep it closed

 

She walks with my heartbeat

She makes my mind retreat

She's not another voice

She has my mind in two

I don't have another choice

Im finally breaking through 

 

I work around the village

As I break another soul

She waits for me to pillage

I'm nothing but her troll
