The Sun Is Setting Through My Mother's Face
Diamond sword, head on a silver plate;
The sun is setting through my Mother's face.
No longer interested and turns her back,
If I dare to show her my silver plaques
Trophies thrown, bombs in the sky;
Penetrating my heart until Dad is home.
No match for the sudden force,
while the sun is setting through my Mother's face.
Roses black and Angels hung;
Through the garden I find my hope.
The perfect rose, as bright as gold;
I pick it up; the survivor of the cold.
I raise it, love it, until drowned in love;
My Mother comes and destroys it all.
I try to show my golden plaque,
but.... it's hopeless
The sun has set through my Mother's face
