i've seen through you, my good king,
seen to your blackened heart.
i've tasted your desires and i've meddled in your art.
i've seen the girl with raven hair
the one whose eyes are grey.
i've seen you sweat and wait for her,
and i'll see her falling day.

do you watch her, do you want her,
you animal, you fiend?
you'll catch her as she smiles at you
you'll taste what it could mean.
do you think she wears her clothes for you,
to take off and devour?
you'll regard her and disarm her,
you'll lust away the hours.
you'll eat her heart and call her heartless,
feed her soul to lions,
you'll starve her of her decency
and you will leave her blind.
