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
