lyrics
It was at the wane of May
When summer was in the air
She had taken to the sky
A velvet cloud which billowed high
And her mouth was filled with yellow
She left five daughters
And many more beside
But they were chosen to preside
In golden chambers kingdoms hide
Five babies wrapped in yellow
Honeyblood, honeyblood, what is it you’ve seen?
Honeyblood, honeyblood, come wash this palace clean
The day was darkening
When the babies began to stir
Silence falling, crimson sky
A queen was born so four would die
And her body was cloaked in yellow
Honeyblood, honeyblood, you shall wear the crown
Honeyblood, honeyblood, now cut your sisters down
Honeyblood, honeyblood, climb upon your throne
Honeyblood, honeyblood, no mercy will be shown
She sang so sweetly
The palace was filled with song
Sisters tell me where you are
I’ll give you rubies bright as stars
And your robes will be made of yellow
The four doomed sisters
Still waiting to be born
Sang out once, twice and again
And one by one she murdered them
And their blood filled cups of yellow
Yes their blood filled cups of yellow
Honeyblood, honeyblood, what is it you did
Honeyblood, honey, they were sleeping in their cribs
Honeyblood, honeyblood is yellow on your knife
Honeyblood, honey, it’s the first day of your life
Honeyblood, honeyblood, look at what you did
Honeyblood, honeyblood, you killed them in their cribs
Honeyblood, honeyblood, put away your knife
Honeyblood, honey, it’s the first day of your life
