A Women with a knowing smile caught my eye She sat there with a drink alone The Barkeep said they call her original sin The very first scapegoat when the trouble set in Mother to the millions but queen to none She sits and sips her drink unfazed Barkeep says they'll take her away in a bit She overstepped and now must pay for her sins The court is gathered Judge sits low But round the room The jury know Gods not gonna help you now my girl So save your prayers Legions of daughters those that you fought for happily curse your name now Drink from the cup girl and in another world history sings the same vow Ruled by religion, they speak but we listen, and offer a lamb to the slaughter Easy to lay the blame onto her alter as mother dies for her daughter Self righteousness rooted inside your home kid, can't help but follow their lead Mothers curse mothers, daughters curse daughters and so the cycle repeats Villainize victims, slave to a system, collecting kindling for our kin. The fire we drop at your feet and we leave, please don't cry for your daughters Eve Please don't cry for your daughters Eve Please don't cry for your daughters Eve Just as the Barkeep said a mob came to call And took her from her place of rest She stood and walked herself right out of the door, A path she'd walked so many many times before I was frozen, couldn't move from my seat You think you'd be a saviour but can't do as you preach Eve I'm sorry you must take the fall for their shame, I'd help you but I risk taking your place The court is gathered Judge sits low But round the room The jury know Gods not gonna help you now my girl So save her prayers Legions of daughters those that you fought for happily curse your name now Drink from the cup girl and in another world history sings the same vow Ruled by religion, they speak but we listen, and offer a lamb to the slaughter Easy to lay the blame onto her alter as mother dies for her daughter Self righteousness rooted inside your home kid, can't help but follow their lead Mothers curse mothers, daughters curse daughters and so the cycle repeats Villainize victims, slave to a system, collecting kindling for our kin. The fire we drop at your feet and we leave, please don't cry for your daughters Eve Please don't cry for your daughters Eve Please don't cry for your daughters Eve Mother Maiden Crone Goddess God-less all alone Medusa in the flesh Punished for another's mess So you'll take the fall For standing just an inch too tall When the bell doth toll The ringing calls out for us all Temptress siren witch Anne she stands without a stitch A lesson never learned Speak to loud we'll see you burn And your reflection seems To look a whole lot like that Eve When the bell doth toll The ringing calls out for us all The ringing calls out for us all! Legions of daughters those that you fought for happily curse your name now Drink from the cup girl and in another world history sings the same vow Ruled by religion, they speak but we listen, and offer a lamb to the slaughter Easy to lay the blame onto her alter as mother dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and Dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and dies Please don't cry for your daughters Eve
