Oh Ophelia
I really feel for ya
There are some truths my love just didn’t get revealed to ya
Becoming Queen was an ambition so unreal for ya
Young woman in tragedy, the fates were always sealed for ya
Giving your flower away in some poetic spiel for ya
To be told the Nunnery is where they’ve got a deal for ya
In his mind it’s where you’re gonna go to kneel for ya
Humble pie or some such dish, tis not religious zeal for ya
While your brother pours innuendo but pure ideals on ya
Not just your heart that’s broken, what a thing to steal from ya
To be or not to be, the first now don’t appeal to ya
Daddy’s gone, stabbed as he tried in vain to conceal and ya
Got watery muddy death, that is the last ordeal for ya
Now like the rest, the worms will make a meal of ya
Oh Ophelia
I really feel for ya
