Her Heart of Stone


If you treat her right, your night will be nice
Was the slogan that killed her honour every night
They said her bed was the sweetest
Her touch divine
Drunks came to worship her
She was the altar that demanded no sacrifice
She just lay there and bled
Night after night
And the blind singer
Strummed his sitar
As a heart of stone
Began to show cracks
She'd forgotten she was a woman
She'd laid aside her dreams
Her cries for salvation
Were always drowned out
By her faked screams
And one day, her bed grew cold
The witchcraft was gone
For the cracks in her heart of stone
Had bled for the last time

The Bilge Master
