about

A song about parental alienation and kidnapping. Ask me about my story sometime.

lyrics

I am a warrior, though fair I be
I seek my revenge, across the land and sea
Trust not upon my grace to hide the dark in me
I'll kill the man that I once loved when he crosses me

I was a mother once, kept home as a wife
I loved and watched them, they were my very life
I promised loyalty, but my heart was left to bleed
Now I find myself alone and in desperate need

I will rock the cradle, I will rock the sea
You will come to know my name, before they bury me
Before they bury me

The sun came up one cursed day on my daily rounds
The chatter in the air was that we were England bound
My feet they swiftly carried me to know my fortune true
Instead I found desertion, not even pennies few

Now you see a stranger from the lass I was before
My apron lay in ashes and I seek to settle score
So when you lay your head to rest, think to me and know
I've come to claim my children, revenge and wrath in tow

I will rock the cradle, I will rock the sea
You will come to know my name, before they bury me
Before they bury me

I am a warrior, still fair I be
The man that I once loved now lays beneath the sea
