The Scorpion Queen And Her Twin Telson
      
    She’s an Angel, or at least
That’s the illusion she wants us to see
But I believe she’s the Devil
And there’s fire burning within thee

She’s beautiful in every way
Her dress is yellow and black
She’s perfect in every way but I
Caution you, beware of her attack

She may promise you Heaven
You may easily fall under her spell
But if you do, you may soon realize
You’re on the highway to Hell

I’ve heard the myths and fear the legend
Of her Angelic voice as she begins to sing
And how that’s the only warning
She gives just before her sting

There’s unbearable pain as her venomous
Poison runs through your veins
And how death is welcomed as you realize
You’re trapped inside a world she reigns

I know you’re the King of your castle
The Captain of the ship
I hope you have a heart of stone
And a stiff upper lip

Be prepared for your sentence, a life
In the grips of her power with no parole
You’ll be a useless man, a zombie
Without existence and without a soul

If you dare to venture into the stormy sea
Be sure your ship has a sturdy keelson
For even Hercules would succumb to
The Scorpion Queen and her twin telson
