Matt Backer - The Dictator's Daughter Lyrics

I caught her eye in the library, and she was looking back to see
If I was looking back at her
Her book on Greek Mythology, and when her gaze returned to me
I felt my senses start to stir
I wasn't sure of who she was with Furies on her side
I thought they had her in their claws
And now I'm terrified

Cause I'm in love with the Dictator's daughter
I fell into her ebony eyes
And I went like a lamb to the slaughter
Which comes as no surprise

I turned around and caught his glance, and thought that maybe by some chance
He'd hear me sing my siren song
Odysseus appeared to me, and I could be Penelope
And maybe I could tag along

Ariadne's golden thread took him to the door
To the place where he was led
To face the Minotaur

I'm in love with a beautiful pauper
Whose heart is bright and pure and true
With a soul like gilded copper
What's a girl to do

Cause I'm in love with the Dictator's daughter
I fell into her ebony eyes
And I went like a lamb to the slaughter
Which comes as no surprise
I fell onto those eyes
Yes I fell onto those eyes
