Living Stones

I humble myself before you
For the things men say
Comparing my beauty
To you fair Queen

One pursues me
More than the others
I sense in him
Dark desires

I kneel and pray
For your protection
Does me no good
Against man's sinful nature

He walks away
Having planted his seed
Leaving me a mess at your feet

What have I done
That need be forgiven
Eyes filled with shame
You chastise me

You take my beauty
Give me snakes for hair
A curse on every man
That can't resist seeing
If the myth is real

All this misery
Caused by man
Casting the first stone
