about

When you say one thing but mean your mother.

lyrics

They gave him up before his time
Because of prophecy
Some righteous hand removed the line
And now the boy was free

He ran, and ran, and ran and found
A kingdom all his own
There he remained for many years
Now give this man his throne

I don't know why I can't take this
I'm sorry father what have I done?
I don't know why I can't fake this
I love you mother love your son

He marched into the king's head chambers
The bastard struck him down
He took the wife of which he conquered
And bed her through the ground

The irony of prophecy
Came swiftly into light
His shining queen had now been jaded
Incest: the king's last sight

I don't know why I can't take this
I'm sorry father, please forgive
I don't know why I can't fake this
I wish that I had never lived
I don't know why I can't take this
I'll never look upon her face
I don't know why I can't fake this
I'll never live another day

You can't rewrite your fate
No man can see it change
You can't rewrite your fate
You'll never see it change
You can't rewrite your fate
You'll always suffer falls from grace
A tragic step, a tragic place
You'll always suffer falls from grace
