I made you swings out of my golden braids
And you used to play...like children
I loved the sound of your voice when I pushed you higher
I taught you how to be young
So how dare you stay up?
How dare you cut my plaits and never come down?
Before me, all you knew was your bitter black coffee
And your bitter, long nights
I taught you how to dance to no music
So how dare you dance with her to your petty love songs?
How dare you ignore my shadow scolding you for all of your wrongs?
But know something, sir
After me, you'll be forever lost
You'll go back to your old, worn out ways
And your boring, long days
After me
You'll be bound
Held down by so many chains
After me
You'll taste what a cold night is
You'll fight all the trivial words
You'll know what futile tales are
And you'll try your hardest to forget me
To hate me!
But your attempts will fail despite the effort
So do whatever pleases you
I'm the only true thing that happened to you
I will always be your perpetual Queen.
