before the king - unwoman lyrics
i have appeared at last before the king
and while i still can, i must sing
i sing through smiling lips and pretend
i don’t know it’s the end
i can’t stop this gift of vision
i can’t help but see what’s coming
and i’ve never been given
a faustian bargain
’cause no one wants what i’m selling
(souls are a dime a dozen)
everything happens
not for a reason
but it has to happen to someone
i used to have a potion
to quiet the visions
but now even our poison is poisoned
and i was never aspirational
only living as a cautionary tale
having to dance and beg on my knees
my only chance at dignity
and to pretend these scr*ps are enough
to appease the lords above
but of my own sp*ce and time i am queen
and while i still can, i must sing
i sing the truth: death comes for us all
and now she stands in your great hall!
