The Portrait
Lyricist:Petersen Kim Bendix
My mother was obsessed by evil jealousy She didn't want nobody to even look at Molly She kept me locked up in this attic till I died Only 4 years old, my story left untold
Oh, Molly Oh, Molly
Mother was struck by this infallible idea If she could paint my portrait I would remain immortal And I could hang downstairs above the fireplace A little girl in lace, not a single trace of crime Trace of crime
Each day and night she worked and autumn turned to spring Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com For every stroke she painted a little life was ended At last I felt so weak I could not even speak But in that fatal portrait my spirit came to life again
Oh, Molly
That night I made the portrait speak in evil tongue You're gonna go beyond too, may pain and death bestow you She grabbed a book and spoke aloud an ancient rhyme While she burned the portrait in the candle of fate
Oh, Molly
I've gotta see ma
