Praying Mantis - Beads Of Ebony lyrics

You're poised there in such radiance So unclouded, so serene As other flock around you Someday you shall be queen Into the icy wastes you peer With eyes of scrutiny But who's to say in this new world What is your destiny You're the one my child You are the chosen one The one they want in your prime Farewell my fearful beads of ebony It's you who is the first this time Who are those frightening creatures How they stumble through the snow Have they come to greet you You are very soon to know As he towers high above you with no mercy or no shame No bullet, there's no scar that way Oh, those screams of pain You're the one my child You are the chosen one The one they want in your prime Farewell my fearful beads of ebony It's you who is the first this time It's over now for another year They've done their dirty deed It's cold once more But your sister waits to take your brother's seed I thought I saw you on the Hollywood screen You were the star of the show She could not see those beads of ebony Or the blood now covered by snow
