The Castle of the Phantom Queen - Pt 2
Panic and fear and rage aroundAnger of Phantom Lord, all abound
Betrayed by his own family
Swore to kill; his tragedy
All wealth and treasures of the kingdom
Stolen by the wife of the Phantom Lord
Vengeance filled him, head to toe
For this he'll make her pay, the cost
And one fine morn, with none around
He took her wife to a secluded place
Cut her body, limb from limb
And with hot-oil, burned her face
The mob didn't take it in with ease
A man being so brute with his wife
Revolted against this act of king
To which king replied, with swords and knife
Soldiers of the kingdom of Phantom Lord
Too, left him alone and left him lonely
In such desperate and tormenting times
No mortal's support, the king received
But for his 14-year old daughter
The one who adored her father much
Respect so high for Phantom Lord
The little girl wouldn't leave his touch
Questions from her daughter, he once would've thought he can't answer
Must satisfy those queries now, and hope she understands the cause
Unexpected yet hoped much, the young lady did understand
Betrayal is the greatest sin, and sins so great are repaid like that
So then she joined forces with her
Her father's loyal ones
A group which started from one little girl
Got bigger and better, as it begun
Blood and flesh all around
The stench of burning men abound
The battlefields raging with swords and hammer
Each one did fight, including her
With little support by from neighboring kings
With little support from the angels of death
With motivational high, he daughter did bring
He overthrew his family and the mob
A weirdly joyous celebration did seek
The lordship and his daughter with all
To praise each other for their efforts
To take pleasure in the enemy's fall
But scarred for life was the young woman
Who was not ready to take it in
Treacherous dreams did follow the event
No one to share this suffering
