Jewel studded chandeliers,
Gold plated tears and prayers.
Showed you more than a grandiose dream.
Bewitched by my silver platters
Dreaming of watching them shatter
I could take you to the moon.
Made you the king's heir
Your love was in all my prayers
Never knew you wanted more.
Took you into the heart of diamond lair,
You locked me in, rubies soaked with tears.
I watched you steal my crown, my familial honour.
Oh my crown prince, is this what we've come to?
I watched you through iron grills
Stealing the shrew from the stables.
Golden light bouncing off my jewels
That dorn your neck but never your conscious.
As you laughed your evil little cackles
Should've known, should've hidden all my treasure.
Should've known you'd now try go for better.
Bigger crowns, bigger kingdoms to conquer.
And bigger fools to con with bigger Trojan horses.
