Mata Hari´s Secret

With her dance you seduced the world
wrapped in silk, your body pearled
a beautiful woman, a rising star
sold your soul to wrong side of war
playing silent games in the dark
swimming in a pool of sharks


Refrain:
Mata Hari, can´t tell why
you sacrificed your life
for high treason to die
Mata Hari, why did you lie
for keeping secrets as a spy


Whispers in the shadowed halls,
coded words and secret calls,
a mask of charm, a deadly art,
breaking hearts and tearing apart.
In the night, you played your role,
a flame that burned, but lost control.

Refrain:
Mata Hari, can´t tell why
you sacrificed your life
for high treason to die
Mata Hari, why did you lie
for keeping secrets as a spy


Was she a victim or a queen?
A shadow lost in in-between.
Torn apart by love and fear,
her whispered secrets disappear.
Did she dance to freedom’s call,
or was she doomed to lose it all?

Refrain:
Mata Hari, can´t tell why
you sacrificed your life
for high treason to die
Mata Hari, why did you lie
for keeping secrets as a spy


Mata Hari, your secret’s deep,
in history’s shadows it will keep.
