Twisted and Tangled


How can I say a story that's untold?

You have heard the twisted lines from the queen

Beware of events that will soon unfold

Because now my patience begins to ween

She is my daughter but claimed by the king

The aftermath of nights erased by sand

Whose queen's affair did not end with a ring

They killed him at once, silenced me with land

But the child is mine though no one agrees

She was left to me with my husbands will

I will make sure that every townsman sees

Rapunzel is mine and will be mine still

Dear king and queen I am taking her back

Far far away where you cannot attack
