about

For Susan Pevensie, Queen of Narnia.

lyrics

And did you not love me for my eye so keen?
Have I been ungentle, have I been unwise?
Else why do you make of me a tarnished queen,
Is it for the shape of me that you devised?

Was it you who cut the bow to fit my hand?
I sought to win your favor when we won the day
Showed you I could wield it well as any man
Still you call it ugly and you turn away

And is it now that you forsake me?
Forsake me, forsake me

For that I never grew to be your golden child
Woe and what to do about a willful girl?
Cast her in the darkness as a thing defiled
Crush a shining powder from a faulted pearl

Stir it in a bitter draught and drink it deep
Save a little special for the second born
Silence is the only thing you let me keep
Nothing left escaping from a broken horn

And so you choose, and so forget me
Forget me, forget me

For I could never bend enough to bear your rule
Mercy everlasting at the price you name
Love is jealous, love is vengeful, love is cruel
Love has taught me every word I know for shame

Somewhere you are watching on your blinding throne
Piercing through the desert here to burn my mind
Offering your kingdom if my soul atones
There you will be waiting till the end of time

It is not for you to forgive me
It is not for you to forgive me
It is not for you to forgive me
