A Curse Broken With Sisterly Love

The Owen sisters break a generational curse... letting them love again.

A curse through time on an ancestor's loss
Owen women bare the burden of death
When deathwatch beetle begins our path to cross
Man in love is doomed to die end of breath.

Sisters strung together through time and space
Clinging to hope and belladonna press
A bond no other can ever replace.
As sisters save each other from duress.

A tortured soul clings to darkness's path
Forces family to come together fast
Draw in neighbours to soothe and stifle wrath
And sever the link the dark soul has cast

Once all is done, the curse is broken fair
And family find true love can find them there.
