Matriarch Lyrics

roaming eyes survey the landscape
greed her only motivation
set to part with her beloved
send them off wed the highest bidder
"you look like a fine young man
come and take my daughter's hand"

"mother, please, consider my heart
i will not be sold as a slave
let me find my own companion
who alone can fill the void of love"
"silence, let your weary head rest
mother's love is always the best
it's all you need"
it's all you'll get

matriarch - giver of the blood of life
matriarch - pride will be her undoing
matriarch - jealous of the joy of love
matriarch - who will save her
