A woman in a black gown looks toward a guillotine at dusk, with a red rose in the foreground and storm clouds overhead.

Manslayer

Oh, what have I done! I killed the only man Who could revive me. I didn’t think twice Before passing the judgment. I am the sole handler Who brought down the guillotine. With a single blow, I wiped him Off the face of the earth.

Oh mother! Oh mother! My only friend is gone. What am I gonna do now? When will I laugh, And how will I smile? You have taken away my playthings. What will I play with now? I have no toys left. Who will I tell
