Mother why must life be so cruel?
Why does the evil seem to rule
Our lives
Our hearts
Mother
Why?
I must ask
As the wind howls outside our window
Fingers tapping at our door
Sounds outside
Whispers
Family
Death
All things
Cruel
Horrible
Fairytales in books
Mean more
To me
Than a family
With death in their hearts
Mother why
An evil grows through my veins
I try to keep it out
But there's pain
Oh the pain
Mother
She creeps into me
I believe every word
She says
The queen
Mother listen
Why
Oh, why
The blood drips down
I cry
Watching friends die
At my mother's hands
My fake mother
My family
Evil
Crosses their minds
The queen of hearts
Scratches at my door
Laughing
Telling me to join her
Come, grandson
She says
Her smile fading
My voice cracks
I scream
Out through the night
Hands on my back
Mother
Never
Why..
They die
Mother
Light is here
We will fight
The battle is not yet lost
Not yet
Bring your arrows
Your bows
Shoot with mighty
Force
Drive them back
Never listen
Again
Ever
Take your aim
Fire
With force
Drive them
Away
Over the line
Back into
Themselves
Never listen
Again
Mother
Listen
Again
Mother…
Why?
