[Verse 1] Veiling a hidden sheath beneath the frills No one knows My secret place Quietly waiting for the time [Pre-Chorus] The curtsy of decorum slips away The rondeau slowly breaks [Chorus] Take up steel and tread the sacred dance True to the creed With micellar water upon their blades Rewriting yesterday Kneeling? Never again [Verse 2] Red ribbon slips into the scabbard My gaze drifts afar The shadows of the past Can no longer hold me captive [Pre-Chorus] The curtsy of decorum slips away The waltzes slowly break [Chorus] Take up steel and tread the sacred dance True to the creed With blush upon their blades Rewriting tomorrow Kneeling? Never will I [Bridge] The girl in the mirror Is no longer here The sharpened self Now stands here [Chorus] Take up steel and tread the sacred dance True to the creed With rouge upon their blades Rewriting fate Kneeling? Never again
