Don't Cry for your Daughters Eve ft. Ben Tomalin Lyrics

A Women with a knowing smile caught my eye

She sat there with a drink alone

The Barkeep says they call her original sin

The very first scapegoat when the trouble set in

Mother to the millions but queen to none

She sits and sips her drink unfazed

Barkeep says they'll take her away in a bit

She overstepped and now must pay for her sins

The court is gathered

Judge sits low

But round the room

The jury know

Gods not gonna help you now my girl

So save your prayers

Legions of daughters those that you fought for happily curse your name now

Drink from the cup girl and in another world history sings the same vow

Ruled by religion they speak but we listen and offer a lamb to the slaughter

Easy to lay the blame onto her alter as mother dies for daughter

Self righteousness rooted inside your home kid can't help but follow their lead

Mothers curse mothers daughters curse daughters and so the cycle repeats

Villainize victims slave to a system collecting kindling for our kin.

The fire we drop at your feet and we leave

Please don't cry for your daughters Eve

Please don't cry for your daughters Eve

Please don't cry for your daughters Eve

Just as the Barkeep said a mob came to call

And took her from her place of rest

She stood and walked herself right out of the door

A path she'd walked so many many times before

I was frozen couldn't move from my seat

You think you'd be a saviour but can't do as you preach

Eve I'm sorry you must take the fall for their shame

I'd help you but I risk taking your place

The court is gathered

Judge sits low

But round the room

The jury know

Gods not gonna help you now my girl

So save your prayers

Legions of daughters those that you fought for happily curse your name now

Drink from the cup girl and in another world history sings the same vow

Ruled by religion they speak but we listen and offer a lamb to the slaughter

Easy to lay the blame onto her alter as mother dies for daughter

Self righteousness rooted inside your home kid can't help but follow their lead

Mothers curse mothers daughters curse daughters and so the cycle repeats

Villainize victims slave to a system collecting kindling for our kin.

The fire we drop at your feet and we leave

Please don't cry for your daughters Eve

Please don't cry for your daughters Eve

Please don't cry for your daughters Eve

Mother Maiden Crone

Goddess God-less all alone

Medusa and the flesh

Punished for another's mess

So you'll take the fall

For standing just an inch too tall

When the bell doth toll

The ringing calls out for us all

Temptress siren witch

Anne she stands without a stitch

A lesson never learned

Speak too loud we'll see you burn

And your reflection seems

To look a whole lot like that Eve

When the bell doth toll

The ringing calls out for us all

The ringing calls out for us all!

Legions of daughters those that you fought for happily curse your name now

Drink from the cup girl and in another world history sings the same vow

Ruled by religion they speak but we listen and offer a lamb to the slaughter

Easy to lay the blame onto her alter as mother dies

And dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and

Dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and dies

Please don't cry for your daughters

Eve
