ACCIDENT OF BIRTH

[Intro] [Verse] Tumbril and terror new to me And Paris too before this day My last it seems in ‘93 In soiléd sackcloth loathed to pray [Verse] I heard the mob before our turn The angry screams and b***d-lust hate My youth and s*x they would not mourn Another sow for Madame’s gate [Chorus] Tumbril and terror new to me And Paris too before this day My last it seems in ‘93 In soiléd sackcloth loathed to pray [Verse] In ’72 I cried my first Soon laughter filled my chateau’d halls Sweet silk and pearls my daily thirst A trembling heart for windswept balls [Chorus] Tumbril and terror new to me And Paris too before this day My last it seems in ‘93 In soiléd sackcloth loathed to pray [Verse] At twenty-one my womanhood Filled heart and head with prospects fair Now eyes and ears see only b***d And Death commanding living air [Chorus] Tumbril and terror new to me And Paris too before this day My last it seems in ‘93 In soiléd sackcloth loathed to pray [Verse] My sudden weeping quenches scorn Of a thousand unfed gargoyles Above me looms the heavy form The blade to end my breathing royals [Chorus] Tumbril and terror new to me And Paris too before this day My last it seems in ‘93 In soiléd sackcloth loathed to pray [Chorus] Tumbril and terror new to me And Paris too before this day My last it seems in ‘93 In soiléd sackcloth loathed to pray [Outro]
