Beautiful is the young girl who listens to her grandmother.

Speaking with the tongue of sorrow,

"the dress, wear the dress for your mother, Em."

The young girl takes it and shows it to her father,

preparing for tomorrow.

He smiles and tells her it's marvelous.

Grinning with a beautiful grin, staring with dainty eyes.

"You're so lovable and pearly like your mother."

He's hugging and holding her and gives a kiss.

He's pretending to be genuine, a disguise.

Her mother was a lovely lady.

Died of something bleak.

She only knew to listen,

only to never speak.

Her mother was a lovely lady.

Died of something cold.

She only knew to hear,

do what is told.

The father poisoned Em's mother.

He was a snake.

The grandmother prepared a speech,

to hide his disgrace.

The dress was her mother's the day she died,

later we learn that Em never really cried.

Her grandmother and father killed her too,

Em never lived,

I lied to you.
