Red Upon the White Snow

[Intro] [Verse 1] Skin like the winter, untouched and freezing Eyes wide and hollow, quietly scheming They called me the victim, they handed the apple But I built the coffin, I paid for the chapel The huntsman was weak, cut out a pig's heart But I was the monster right from the start [Pre-Chorus] Seven little soldiers, mining for my crown Digging in the darkness, never making a sound Mirror on the wall, hanging by a thread Who is the fairest? The old queen is dead. [Chorus] Red upon the white snow! Choking on the sweet glow! I didn’t fall asleep, I was waiting in the deep Playing the martyr, pulling the strings I am the ruin of kingdoms and kings Red upon the white snow! Watch the whole empire go! [Verse 2] Glass shattered edges, reflecting my vanity They swallowed the fable, embracing insanity A kiss from a prince? A calculated move I needed an army, I had nothing to prove The poison was sugar, the coma a lie I smiled in the glass while I watched them all cry [Pre-Chorus] Seven little soldiers, crawling in the dirt Worship the princess, tell me it won't hurt Mirror on the wall, cracked and bleeding out This is what the fairytale was really all about! [Chorus] Red upon the white snow! Choking on the sweet glow! I didn’t fall asleep, I was waiting in the deep Playing the martyr, pulling the strings I am the ruin of kingdoms and kings Red upon the white snow! Watch the whole empire go! [Bridge] Bite. Chew. Swallow the truth. The poison was nothing but wasted youth. Bite. Chew. Swallow the lie. Smile for the kingdom as the innocents die. (Whispered) I am the fairest. [Guitar Solo / Math Rock Breakdown] [Chorus:] Red upon the white snow! Choking on the sweet glow! I didn’t fall asleep, I was waiting in the deep Playing the martyr, pulling the strings I am the ruin of kingdoms and kings! [Outro] I wear the bloody crown. Watch me burn it down. Skin like the winter. Heart like the grave.
