Mother of Knives

Written by TheoDemoya

[Intro]

She counted threats like rosary beads

And bled for love in crimson deeds

[Verse 1]

When whispers rose to slay her line

She carved a warning into time

The traitors fell like harvest grain

Beneath a mother’s iron rain

[Pre-Chorus]

Mercy dies where children bleed

Let judgment answer need

[Chorus]

Mother of knives

She guarded fragile lives

The price of peace was scar and grief

She chose the blade to keep belief

[Verse 2]

He saw the dead, he saw the fear

And named her love a crime severe

He cursed the hands that saved the seed

And swore to end her burning creed

[Pre-Chorus]

Call it wrath or holy art

A mother only knew her heart

[Chorus]

Mother of knives

She guarded fragile lives

The price of peace was scar and grief

She chose the blade to keep belief

[Bridge]

If truth is cruel, let history say

She held the night so dawn could stay

[Final Chorus]

Mother of knives

They’ll call you sin that saves

But in the dark, a future thrives

Because you bared the blade

[Outro]

She kissed the blood, then turned away
