Beast’s Bride (Dark Belle}

[Intro] [slow eerie piano with distant distorted violin and breathy coloratura hum] [Verse 1] They locked the gates and the roses started to bleed Said a beast lived here and I was the one he’d need I thought it was a story, a curse I could break But the castle has teeth and it’s keeping me awake [Pre-Chorus] Every mirror shows a different lie [Chorus] I’m the beast’s bride, locked in this living cage I’m the beast’s bride, turning page after page The rose is dying and so am I inside I’m the beast’s bride and there’s nowhere left to hide [Verse 2] He watches me sleep with those yellow eyes Whispers my name like a prayer and a curse combined The furniture moves when I try to run The walls are breathing and they’re having fun [Chorus] I’m the beast’s bride, locked in this living cage I’m the beast’s bride, turning page after page The rose is dying and so am I inside I’m the beast’s bride and there’s nowhere left to hide [Bridge] [slow theatrical violin solo with wide seductive coloratura runs building to screaming intensity] I used to believe in beauty and the beast Now I’m becoming the monster and the feast [Verse 3] The last petal falls and the curse doesn’t break It just changes its shape and it takes what it takes I’m not the beauty, I’m the thing in the dark The castle and the beast have eaten my heart [Final Chorus] I’m the beast’s bride, locked in this living cage I’m the beast’s bride, turning page after page The rose is dead and so am I inside I’m the beast’s bride and I’m never getting out alive [Outro] [defiant soaring coloratura ad-libs with distorted violin and fading piano] I’m the beast’s bride… yeah… never getting out alive…
