Mother of One
Who am I
I'm the queen of a thousand moons
mother of immortal souls
Ripping out your hearts
Make my nest in your holes
Your time that's left
Borrowed from me
Collecting my payment
Soul taxed, Never Free
Blood stained smile
Spilled out guts on my alter
Tell me your future
My innocent child
Show you what you want to see
Never the true you
Inside that belly is hell's spare keys
Locked out
Wanting in
Scratching the skin off your knees
Dreams stolen , wide awake
Back alley soul contracts made
Fraudulent cheques signed with virgins blood
Wolf like reflections
Slow flow now like mud
Soul dealer
Life stealer
Innocence eater
I'm that ruler
**** of darkness , armies march on
War beneath us, mother teach us
You are the one, the only one
Mother of one
