about

An oddly majestic song, about the pleasure and penalty of seeing a god. I particularly like the chorus, all moving in half steps.

lyrics

The Queen of Hearts
by clash bowley
copyright 2020

One time so long ago
The hairs on my head weren't like snow
My hands weren't fickle claws
Wounded by time's heartless laws
One time it was the spring
And being young was just the thing

The winter broke and drained away
Until some other day
Then beauty walked the earth
That Love and Joy had given birth
That sight few mortals bore
As in their breasts their hearts were torn

It's perilous for mortals frail
To see the gods unveiled
All else in life seems less
To those the gods have moved to bless
All solace soft departs
Those who behold the Queen of Hearts
