---

confronted with the prospect

of coming face to face

with all the violence of my past

she is an event to me

she’s not a human being

she took control of me so fast

the scars of indiscretions

reminders of the path

that nearly brought me to an end

false love and hidden pretense

that brought me to my knees

afraid to be alone again

i was the queen of the great depression

my throne locked deep in the castle’s keep

i bore no heirs, i had no ambition

but for death to come calling me

an angel of the forest

you came to rescue me

and took the pain out from my eyes

awakened from a slumber

the strength inside of me

you showed me how to be alive

i was the queen of the great depression

my throne locked deep in the castle’s keep

i bore no heirs, i had no ambition

but for death to come calling me

my soul is calling to you

you are my spirit guide

i’ll be forever by your side
