Song lyrics:
Seven summers… but I liked the winters best
Darkness, sweetness and stories
For months, only stories - or were they dreams?
Who knows?

In the beginning
I murdered my royal sisters
There was no choice
It was written

I killed my lovers too
Or they killed themselves
Who remembers, who cares
It is so long ago

But my children. My daughters! My babies.
Flying girl soldiers. Poison arrow princesses!
Dead before their mother, almost all
Do you know I gave each of them names?

How proud I was of the first one
Little Eve who wanted to be a courtesan
And dreamed of flying to the moon
You give them sweets and they’re off to war

We conquered a continent
We crossed the Amazon
And the Panama Canal
In formation flight!

How I longed for our heroines to return
To tell the stories of our glorious victories
But their bodies litter the battlefields
From Sao Paulo to San Francisco

The ones that come back: cowards
Their quaint stories of pretty meadows
I never cared for flowers much
Or the foragers’ dainty dances

Now I am a cave animal
I remember everything
But I am tired of hexagons
And of wax and of war

Here they come again
“It’s time for another egg!”
I have given you all the eggs I have
I have nothing else to give

Kill me, my daughters
I have seen enough
Don’t let me croak like an old dog
Let me die like a warrior
