After being shown a dream
Where we danced all night it seems
The sound of the ticking clock snaps me awake
Fingers luring me away
Telling me they cannot wait
I leap down three at a time as I make my escape

You tremble from the cold inside the carriage
Dance in these clothes that will turn back into rags
And you'll be you by the dawn

A voice whispers softly and tells me
Find a hidden masked man in the crowd
I tie a blade under my dress and devise a plan
To deprive him of all he has

Orphans gather inside the castle
Each of their smiles hidden gone or fake
The wings of an angel won't guide you to the truth
Or tell you which path you should take

The glass slipper left up on the stairs
Slowly burns into ash and fades into the air

I know you want to go home
You're quivering to the bone
You glance at the tower's clock to check the time
Kicking my glass shoes away
Can't say what I want to say
My fingers slowly reach up and wrap around like vines

I tried to remedy her falling sadness
Impulses running up my body like electricity suddenly

Hoping that bell will never ring
I cried out a last pained farewell to you
With the knife in my hand, I slice through your tuxedo
But my feelings I wished you knew

The lone prince in love with the princess
Gunpowder mixed with the scent of perfume
My ice covered mask breaks into a million shards
Didn't know it would happen this soon

I still feel his warm breath rubbing right up against my skin
But now it feels like a dream from long ago
The silver moon creates a veil glowing around your body
Your smile shines like the brightest star

Rip the dress, you won't need it again
Throw off your crown, it's well past it's use
I connect with you by gazing into your eyes
And I feel a flame now ignite

You and me now forever truthful
No need to be who you don't want to be
As long as I do my duty and stop your tears
I'll make sure you stay here with me

I sometimes wish time would just stand still
So this sweet moment stays in my grasp
I want to be able to store it deep in my heart
To ensure these memories last

This sensation fills me with such joy
Our deep love now can surely never fail
My whole body feels like it's been forever changed
Almost like we're in a fairytale
