Dark Cover
the pride weighs her down,
many vowed her just for her crown.
vanished with her riches deaf to the wheeping sound;
yet she waits for someone with the holy mound.
this was the life of a girl
yet before she was the queen of the world.
And now in her prescence the bow down
this is the respect she'd gathered for her crown.
Yet a soul has no tounge
she is still kept hung-
to her halter for the world would count
why?just cause they want to get thant sparkling mount.
she can see it in their eyes
jealousy fir her path so nice.
"DESTROY" is the only word they spell
they never want to hear the tinkling bell.
but never is she going to lose
the strength in her frowning bruise
god forbid! she's not responcible for their death
what a wonder? her victory was just a myth.
