Eternal Queen of Lies

Beneath the veil is a world of lies.

The paintbrush laps upon my heart
Colourful canvas slowly rips
Painted in monochrome lies

And as I show you the end
The beginning rewinds
In this endless illusion, is this also a lie?
This moment is not the beginning
Nor is it the end

If I were an eternal queen
Would you serve forever?
Become a painted lie
Brushed on this canvas

Can't you hear the ticking in my chest?
Come closer, these thorns can't hurt you
Eternal queen I am, though hidden
In my chest lies the beating heart

When the ticking clock stops
My world will soon end
Canvas void of colour, only black and white
This is not the beginning

If I were an eternal queen
Then could this be the end?
You, my precious servant
Come closer, these thorns can't hurt you

Dripping in darkness, drying in white
The last trace of colour slowly dissolves
And the monochrome world becomes all that is known

The paintbrush laps at my heart
Painted in all your lies
Come, my servant, save the queen
From this eternal fantasy
