Lyrics
[Verse]
Unloved, unwanted and yet still Desire.
She grew up with nothing, and yet still she’d lose.
Her situation to grow ever more dire,
but in the end, she’d challenge everyone’s views.
[Verse]
Since birth she was hiding, under the care of a man who cared not.
Gifts and advice from a woman who cared not.
Knowing that if she failed, they would hate her.
She had no comfort, and her future was a blur.
[Chorus]
Horns and fangs do not make a monster.
All she needed was to be shown the light,
and now she does, she will soar and shine bright.
[Verse]
Oh, and lose she did.
Her father was the first to go,
his sadness and shame, his woe,
they broke him.
[Verse]
Next was her home.
With nowhere to go, where does a young girl run?
The streets are no place for her to roam,
so they threw her into the slums, away from the radiance of the sun.
And this was only the beginning.
[Chorus]
Horns and fangs do not make a monster.
All she needed was to be shown the light,
and now she does, she will soar and shine bright.
[Verse]
Alone, cold and hungry.
Wet, scared and dirty.
One woman could fix it all,
but why would she?
[Verse]
This life was no life, but at least it was not death.
She was strong and persisted,
but failure to hide would make her run,
run until she ran out of breath.
And further, further more. No pause.
No peace.
[Chorus]
Horns and fangs do not make a monster.
All she needed was to be shown the light,
and now she does, she will soar and shine bright.
[Verse]
They hunted her,
They found her,
and then they tried to kill her.
With the end near, only one hand was stretch out towards her.
The hand which sees.
[Verse]
She was strong and persisted,
and she ran even further.
To the forbidden lands,
never to notice the blood on her hands.
Here she hid and lived.
She peddled her wares and for a moment, thought she found peace.
But the Collector, she had other plans.
[Chorus]
Horns and fangs do not make a monster.
All she needed was to be shown the light,
and now she does, she will soar and shine bright.
[Verse]
Once again, she returned to the land that abhorred her,
hoping to please her savior,
but causing such hurt, she could not condone such behavior.
Why, you ask?
[Verse]
The light had finally found her.
It denied her. It fought her.
But then it saw through her darkness, through the purest of eyes.
A young woman had heard her inner cries.
For once she knew not only suffering, but also love.
The tender touch and caring whispers.
[Outro]
To soar high, she gave up her limbs.
She denied her savior, and looked towards the light.
Now she was loved. She was wanted.
They had taken everything and more,
yet from the soot she arose,
and spread her wings.
