Story behind the song
You may run across many Queens in your time on this planet. In every case you may also find that there are many who would like to take their place.
Lyrics
“The Counting House” By Wig Nelson c. 2007 The queen is in her counting house – the princesses can’t sleep. They hear the counting very loud – and pray the gold to reap. Can she buy her way to heaven? Has she lied way to hell? Will she ever be forgiven? I can only wish her well? The princesses are bargaining and digging heels in deep. Soon they’ll lose the only thing they’re better off to keep. Can they buy their way to freedom? Have they lied their way to hell? Will the queen be there to lead them with another mother’s spell? The jingle jangle echoes as the hungry babies cry. The counting drowning out the sound of mother’s milk run dry. Will she need a soul to borrow or another lie to tell? Will she ever feel the sorrow of the ones who served her well? The queen is building barricades – a legacy of lies. Hoping to elude them as the evil arrow flies. Will she buy her way to heaven? Has she lied her way to hell? Shall she ever be forgiven? I can only wish her well. The princesses are circling above the queen below. They may not leave her anything to pay the boatman’s toll? Can they buy their way to freedom? Have lied their way to hell? Will the queen be there to feed them? I can only wish them well. The queen has nearly counted out and soon will lock away – The coffers of her counting house to count another day. Will she buy her way to Heaven? Has she lied her way to hell? Shall she ever be forgiven? I can only wish her well.
