Your wicked tongue awoke Between crooked teeth And a scarred smile An accent at the boom Of your voice; could shatter Cities of marble to sand The plague you've sent As we prayed for an end And you took your throne But this is love, isn't it? You whispered to us all Through an open palm This was all there is And all that ever will be You are the omega You've slayed and conquered But like caped crusaders fallen You were mortal all along And I realize that now Whelmed through life's storm You, too, never knew love

Mother
Your wicked tongue awoke Between crooked teeth And a scarred smile An accent at the boom Of your voice; could shatter Cities of marble to sand The plague you've sent As we prayed for an end And you took your throne But this is love, isn't it? You whispered to us all Through an open palm This was all there is And all that ever will be You are the omega You've slayed and conquered But like caped crusaders fallen You were mortal all along And I realize that now Whelmed through life's storm You, too, never knew love
