The Queen Of The Great Depression

from Colossus by Everson Poe

/

lyrics

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
