Queen Of Tragedy

QUEEN OF TRAGEDY
Glass/Wolfe

EPISODE 1 - DESTINY
Bright-eyed girl with so many dreams . . . things are not always what they seem
Sacrificed for the alliance . . . destined to be the Queen of France
Never away from home before . . . wed to a weekling and a bore
Seven years and still a virgin . . . grand spending is your diversion

Sent away for the good of your country . . . naive child, future Queen of Tragedy
Naive child . . . future Queen of Tragedy

EPISODE 2 - DISILLUSIONMENT
Isolation, it feels so cruel . . . you find you are the source of ridicule
The marriage has you in dispair . . . until the time you have an heir
The nation, it is in proverty . . . while you are spending so lavishly
Your spending, it breeds resentment . . . you are the scapegoat for their discontent

They see your life is one big party . . . your favorites prosper, Queen of Tragedy
Avoiding all responsiblity . . . selfish existence, Queen of Tragedy

EPISODE 3 - TURMOIL
A necklace purchased in your name . . . but no one sees you without blame
Now things have swung out of control . . . the public demands your blood, your soul
A failed escape, it seals your fate . . . the attempt was made much too late
In your palace a prisoner . . . set to face the executioner

On the road to ruin but you don’t see . . . Madame Deficit, Queen of Tragedy
No allies in a court full of enemies . . . hated foreigner, Queen of Tragedy
The king is tried and they find him guilty . . . his last night’s with the Queen of Tragedy

EPISODE 4 - JUDGMENT
You are so strong until the day . . . they come to take your son away
They fill his head with lies so vile . . . that surface against you at your trial
The speech you give moves all around . . . but death’s the verdict that’s handed down
Now all alone, you face the truth . . . shadow of the blade looms over you

Sentenced to death, you get no sympathy . . . no love lost for the Queen of Tragedy
To the scaffold, ill fated family . . . no escape for the Queen of Tragedy
Trying to retain your strength and dignity . . . end is here for the Queen of Tragedy

In the end you met your destiny . . . forever known as the Queen of Tragedy
