Dark Side
| The Story |
|
This song follows Flower on her classic Star Wars style path to the dark side,
thru fear, anger and hate to the inevitable suffering. She has turned down
a bleak road and becomes fearful, angry, bitter and hateful. She decides
she will be rid of her unborn baby at any cost, even if she has to perform the abortion herself.

Lyrics:
fear is the path to the dark side
and I'm so afraid
I can not run away and hide
from choices I have made
I'm afraid to see it blow up in my face
I'm afraid I'll lose my personal space
I'm afraid I'll be left hanging on my own
I'm afraid of what they'll write on my gravestone
fear leads to anger, it makes me mad
screaming little leaches yelling "mommy mommy dad"
demanding all of my attention
I should have used some sort of birth prevention
anger leads to hate, I'm full of malice
who poured this cup of dregs into my chalice
anything to bail out of this mis-conception
damn Beltane and my wedding reception
I don't want to be a mother, I don't want to be a wife
I'll do it myself, just give me the knife
Give me the knife
Give me the knife...
fear is the path to the dark side
you can tell by my wild laugh I took that long ride
I'd rather be a widow than to have you as my groom
I'd rather have a tumor than a child in my womb
I just want to break you when I walk into the room
live with me a while, you'll be begging for your tomb
I don't want to be a mother, I don't want to be a wife
I'll do it myself, just give me the knife
Give me the knife
Give me the knife...
