Dark Sleeping Beauty

[Intro] [slow eerie piano with distant distorted violin and breathy coloratura hum] [Verse 1] They pricked my finger and the world went black Now I’m awake inside this endless trap The spindle’s curse still burns under my skin I’m screaming silent while the castle spins [Pre-Chorus] Hundred years of sleep and I still feel the pain [Chorus] I’m the sleeping beauty they buried alive Eyes wide open in this coffin of mine I’m the sleeping beauty they buried alive Prince thinks he’s saving me but he’s just another lie [Verse 2] He kissed my cold lips like he owned the night Didn’t know I was screaming the whole damn time The thorns grew tighter, the tower became my grave I’m the girl they cursed and the one they couldn’t save [Chorus] I’m the sleeping beauty they buried alive Eyes wide open in this coffin of mine I’m the sleeping beauty they buried alive Prince thinks he’s saving me but he’s just another lie [Bridge] [slow theatrical violin solo with wide seductive coloratura runs building to screaming intensity] Every dream is a nightmare, every kiss is a blade I’m awake in the darkness and I’m never afraid [Verse 3] When I rise from this sleep the kingdom will burn The spindle’s still spinning and it’s my turn No happily ever after, no fairy tale end Just a dead girl waking with revenge in her veins [Final Chorus] I’m the sleeping beauty they buried alive Eyes wide open in this coffin of mine I’m the sleeping beauty they buried alive Now the whole fucking kingdom is gonna die [Outro] [defiant soaring coloratura ad-libs with distorted violin and fading piano] I’m awake… yeah… the kingdom’s gonna die…
