She crawls in dark blue shadows and paints herself gold
Fangs of virtue....but her lies are as old as time
In the mirror, a snake, but she sees smoke
Thinks she’s a goddess, queen of the night
But her throne is built on borrowed light
on Barbara Jane's time

She plays the saint, plays it so well
But I remember every spell
New York was too small for her lies
So she fled to Utah’s open skies
A bigger stage to hide her family sin
But the secrets of the night
will always follow her where she's been

You’re a pseudo wolf, crying in the dark
Hiding your sins behind muscle and bark
But I’ve seen the beast, I’ve heard the screams
You can't outrun the reckoning in my dreams

You stole from the broken, laughed at their cries
Built your kingdom on silenced goodbyes
Selling homes with a serpents tongue
Stealing bribes from poisoned lungs
Your father’s shadow cloaks your throne
A legacy of hurt carved into bone
You howl at the moon hoping we forget
But I’m the witch you’ll regret

You’re a pseudo wolf, bleeding fake power
Dressed like thunder in your weakest hour
But I am the storm, I’m the truth you flee
Kathryn, you’ll remember me

You thought I was weak, didn’t you?
Just a girl with a song and too many scars
But I’m the howl beneath your silence
The fire under your borrowed stars

You’re a pseudo wolf, unholy queen
Your reign of fear ends in this dream
I rise with the moon, I claim what’s mine
The real wolf walks this crooked line

And how dare you use sweet Eileen
She was never yours to scheme
The sunflowers grow beneath my sky
Not in your shadow, not in your lie.

You’re a lying, ugly creature, masked in guile
A twisted soul with a poisonous black widow smile
I remember the venom in your tongue
But Kathryn
I’m the Enchantress, and I’ll burn you strong
If you ever try again to hurt the good ones
Get back in your cage Snake
where you belong
I'll close it myself if you ever
commit a crime against us again

Kathryn sells lies
