Tilted Halo, Crooked Crown

You’ve tried to make my name into a laughingstock
You’ve tried to fill my heart with discontent
You’ve tried to add scorn to my name
You’ve tried to bring damnation upon my home
You’ve tried to bring me and my family to shame
You’ve tried to fill my brain with thoughts of ending life
but now you want to tilt my halo into your crooked crown!
