Eve of Regret

There was a world that was us
There was a love that kept us
There was a hand in hand, a walk, a talk
A love that flowed easy in and around us
Now there's a world without you
There's a love that can't be found
There's an emptiness, O loneliness and silence
An aching that ebbs in and around us
It goes O O oo
Cause you never ever know, never know no, never no ever never know
What you got till it's gone
And it's so hard to show, so hard to show, so hard, so hard to show
When all you've loved is lost
There was a world that was us
The fool inside me wanted more
There was a fruit in hand, a tongue in ear
Whispers deceiving made it seem so clear
Now there's a world without you
And the fault is mine alone
There's a natural pull from what I used to do
Tearing me further away from you
I cry No no no
But you never ever know, never know no, never no ever never know
What you got till it's gone
And it's so hard to show, so hard to show, so hard, so hard to show
When all you've loved is lost
If I could go back upon the eve of my regret I'd slay the beast
I'd be no damsel in distress
I'd be the queen of victory
I'd be the one that silenced sin
But I'm the one that set it free
And you never ever know what you got till it's gone
And it's so hard to show, so hard to show when all you've love is lost
It's all lost

Foxy Fable

One day a fox and a lion were born
Will they ever meet?
They're destined to be
One wears shackles upon his mane
A great destiny of strength
Born to save
The fox enchained the same
Born to chase the game
Forced to play
Ooooooo
Teeth versus tricks, brains versus bronze
Woven in the loom, tied up in bonds
Cunning asserted, wits stretched to its end
And the fox's curves
The lion's poison
Ooooooo
Finally the veils have been torn
The keys hidden no more
The fox won the war
The mane unlocked, the strength was lost
And the fox's reward mattered no more
Because all is not fair in love and war
Back so soon they said to me
How quickly you finished the deed
What have you to report?
So I told them
In a fable of sorts

Jericho's Rapunzel

Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair
A bargain we made that my life would be spared
Keep our little secret and we will be fair
Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair
Two men they came into town
Strangers spying on the ground
Hid them I did, I'm no stranger to sin
But if there's one thing I know it's a way out
Men I had feared for so long
Knowing one day they would come
They'd tear down our walls and leave me for the dogs
But if there's one thing I know it's a way out
And with them I saw a way out
Listen to me O ye men
Upon you I see a great hand
I'll help you escape if you will show me grace
Cause if there's one thing I need it's a way out
And one thing I want is a way out
And with you I see a way out
Get me out
Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair
A bargain we made that my life would be spared
Keep our little secret and we will be fair
Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair

Scarlet Letter Queen

If I was honest I would tell you
How it made me feel when you came to me
Oh but honestly I was afraid
And so honestly was left by the way
And honestly how could I say no to a king
Risk death or wear the 'A'
Oh but I can't take it back
Would I if I could?
You know I probably should
I've loved and I've lost, been used up and crowned
Would I really go back and lose all I have now?
Cause oh I'm the queen with a scarlet letter history
Shame and blood on the pages
Look across and I'm naked
Silence was screaming by the look in his eye
But in his reflection was my silent reply
Oh I was almost finished cleaning off the day
But then I got filthy
Oh with a filth that would stay
Oh but I can't take it back
Would I if I could?
But I can't take it back
And I don't think I would!

My Fine Salty Lady

Have you ever heard the phrase "Curiosity killed the cat"?
Well it came one day from a dirty place
A little story goes with that
Well a fine lady with good upbringing lived among the worst of men
But it tweren't her fault so the Lord did stop to hold back his justly wrath
Don't look back, Don't look back, Don't look back my fine lady
Just keep your eyes upon your feet
Don't give way to curious things
Well it must 'a been quite a feat of strength not to indulge
When everything around you seems most fun and pleasureful
Don't look back, Don't look back, Don't look back my fine lady
Just keep your eyes upon your feet
Don't give way to curious things
A respectful distance did she keep from these things and the Lord did see.
So when the time came to have his way, he gave grace to the lady
Don't look back, Don't look back, Don't look back my fine lady
Just keep your eyes upon your feet
Don't give way to curious things
And when the appointed day it came to lay flames upon the city
To the lady he gave a caution to save
What he said is what we sing
Don't look back, Don't look back, Don't look back my fine lady
Just keep your eyes upon your feet
Don't give way to curious things
For the hills she ran while the city burned with the fiery wrath of God
Well the flames enticed and the people screamed
Stop to look back did she
Stopped in her tracks she had to think, "look back or carry on?"
But overcome with curiosity she turned to a pillar of salt!
Don't look back, Don't look back, Don't look back my fine ladies
Just keep your eyes upon your feet
Don't give way to curious things
