[Verse 1] A perfect doll inside a case of glass. I watched the mourning shadows slowly pass. They think I came to break the apple’s curse, But I’m the one who drives the silent hearse. [Pre-Chorus] Why would I wake you to the bitter air? When you are frozen, perfectly aware. No breathing in, no breathing out, I love the quiet when there is no doubt. [Chorus] I am the Prince of the pale and the still, I don't need consent, I just take what I will. Keep your eyes closed, don't ruin the scene, My beautiful, breathless, underground queen. A kiss isn't magic, a kiss is a cage, I'm writing the end of your fairy tale page. [Verse 2] I paid the seven men to walk away. They sold you out before the break of day. Your ruby lips, your skin of porcelain, A beautiful monument to my favorite sin. I don't want a bride who can speak her mind, I want a possession I can leave behind. [Pre-Chorus] Why would I wake you to the bitter air? When you are frozen, perfectly in my care. No stepping out, no stepping in, Let the real matrimony now begin. [Bridge] Sleep... (don't wake up) Sleep... (my fragile cup) If you open your eyes, the illusion dies. (Distorted synth stabs build tension) So I'll keep you locked inside the ice. (Slap bass and tapped guitar duel) [Guitar & Bass Solo] [Chorus] I am the Prince of the pale and the still, I don't need consent, I just take what I will. Keep your eyes closed, don't ruin the scene, My beautiful, breathless, underground queen. A kiss isn't magic, a kiss is a cage, I'm writing the end of your fairy tale page. [Outro] Happily never after. No heartbeat, no laughter. Just you... and me... And this cold... eternity.
