Lydia the Bard - Don't Cry for your Daughters Eve

Copied!edit 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 daughtеrs those that you fought for happily curse your name now Drink from thе 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
Ng just an inch too tall

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

"Don't Cry for your Daughters Eve" by Lydia the Bard is a haunting and powerful song that tells the story of Eve, the original scapegoat, and the injustices she faces throughout history. The song paints a vivid picture of Eve sitting alone in a bar, labeled as "original sin" by the barkeep. Despite being the mother to millions, she is queen to none and is ultimately taken away by a mob, forced to take the fall for the shame of others.

The lyrics speak of the cycle of mother-daughter relationships, where mothers curse daughters and daughters curse mothers, perpetuating a system of blame and victimization. The song pleads for empathy and understanding for Eve, urging listeners not to cry for her as she faces the consequences of others' actions.

The chorus is powerful and emotional, highlighting the struggle and sacrifice of Eve as she is vilified and punished for simply being herself. The imagery of Medusa, the temptress, and the witch alludes to the ways in which women throughout history have been demonized and punished for their perceived transgressions.

Overall, "Don't Cry for your Daughters Eve" is a poignant and thought-provoking song that shines a light on the injustices faced by women throughout history, urging listeners to break the cycle of blame and victimization.
