I remember that night It was full of light People laughed And I smiled You walk to me A shining smile Ear to ear A face of tall tales You took my hand I looked into your eyes I was drawn But then I realized Your charm, your grace I was almost entranced But I knew clearly This wasn't right You're too old I'm too young But you tried To force down your tongue I cried, Yes I cried, You leave me, "You're not mine" You were too strong I was too weak You dragged me By my pant's seams We were in bed Your fingers on me But oh Lord I make my plea She forced me She told me No one would care No one would try Besides, I'm a guy She's a gal If we were tried They'll say: "Why didn't you try? She's just a woman, You're a fool, A disgrace" I'm not her man I'm not a man Just some boy With a broken wing She was my Lord She was the Queen Me? Well... Just a pleb So it didn't even matter Cause why not? She's reclaiming the power Her people lost January 5th, I walk to my room Breathing in the cold air For it will be my last A rope around my neck Tears in my eyes I told the truth, But they said it was a lie Now I call Death, Oh beloved Death To take me As her lover The pain was too much The insults too many I'm a man They say in envy I shall never fly I shall never soar She clipped my wings My lust, my soul I breathe my final breath Lord forgive me, But after her I know hell
