They never saw her
Why would they have cared?
He was gone
And nothing else was left.
But in a corner of the floor
Far from prying eyes
She crouches over her belly
Sings to the soul in her womb.
For this she hopes will be her salvation
As everything else is lost
And this she hopes will be
All that she has always longed.

He is gone now
Far away from here
He said he won't return
Until the world has burned.
He cursed her forever
For she was his poison
But now he'd found another
He'd felt her healing touch
He forgot about her
The sin he'd left behind
And began a new world order
With his lover by his side.

She sits in a corner
Awaiting revenge.
For the child he has spawned
Will grow into a man.
The man will be Nemesis
And a warrior at once
Steal from his father
What he stole from her.
But for now she lies in the corner
Awaiting birth and the dreams she has woven
She knows will never become.
He has a lover by his side
A woman of royal blood
And she was just a diversion
Until he had found this one.
The poison that used to course
Through his imperial veins
Has forever been purged
And forgotten along the way.
She prays the child will be a man
For she would not wish her curse on a girl.
But fate it seemed had been
Nothing but cruel to her.
The others whisper about them
The woman and the girl
Who traverse the lands unknown
And never bother to return.
But soon the burden of mortality
Will become too heavy for her
And where a pair walked together
There will be only one.

They still whisper about her
The girl with dead eyes
Even as she becomes a warrior
With a heart of eternal ice.
She never walks with anyone
As she travels the avenues of time
And when she encounters another
All fear the ways she treads.
No stars smile upon her
For fate wants nothing else
Because the mother has fallen
The daughter must avenge.
Destiny cannot mock her
Nor immortality stands in her way.
And when she stands before him
Her father learns her ways.
She will never surrender
Like her mother once did
And she will walk away
And never come again.

He stands by his lover
Together hand in hand
Never to know a love
Stronger than his for her.
They never could make something
Out of their eternal bliss
For her womb could not take
The pain of such a love.
And so they stand and watch
As she walks away
And there are no regrets now
But she knows better any way
Someday her father will remember
Why he left his home
And when he does remember
Only then will he know.

She knew love
All encompassing love
For she learnt it in the womb
She knows of its pleasures
And she certainly knows its wounds.
So she will not falter where her mother fell
And she will not succumb where her father did.
She will travel the avenues of space and time
And she will overcome where others fell behind
For she had toppled mountains even before she came
And time will stand still for the child that should never have been.
Her father will soon remember with his lover by his side
That she will never become him or pay respect of kind.
She will be his destroyer, Nemesis in all her folds,
And she will conquer where her mother never could.
For though her bearer is lost in the sea of souls
She is the very weaver to weave her perfect holes
Through these holes the water will wash away the pain
And her mother will rise and never fall again.

For love is the lesson that bears a learning to
And never the victim forgets the face of the killer so.
And now they stand together, the mother with the child
For they have conquered all, that before them fell
The father he remembers the lesson not as well
And when love will crush him he will never forget.
The lover will die or wither, burnt away by lies
And the father oh he will be solitary.
The others will come around him
Offering him comfort still
But he will never seek it for it'll be his cross to bear
Never will he forget the wrath of his woman scorned
And never will he remember the joys of love in whole.

So listen carefully and listen well
Love may be salvation, love may be hell
But love is above all others
And that we know quite well.
But when you look at the heavens
I know you will understand this
Love is not meant for the weak
Nor for the kind of heart
It is only meant
For those who have lost everything
When there is nothing left to be found...
