Lunar: Ogre-Prince Inversion (Flidais)

Female vocals, folk, ballad, orchestra, echoes, crying

I’ve learned the charm to hide the shame,
But still, the whispers call me names.
They see a beast, but where is it then?
Is there something they see beneath my skin?
[Voice cracks slightly on “beneath my skin”]

(Chorus)
Why now do you judge what you think lies inside?
I had done all I could with no chance to hide.
And Luna gave me strength, not a mask to wear,
So why do you look at me with that stare?
They say there’s a beast beneath my skin,
But I never asked to live with this sin.
[Voice grows more intense as frustration builds]

(Verse 2)
The greatest crime I ever made,
Was being born this way, the face I betrayed.
I learned to change, I learned to grow,
But now it’s not my face that you fear, it’s my soul.
[Voice softens, beginning to crack emotionally]

You say you see the beast inside,
I tried to change, but you can’t see why I hide.
“[Plea] What’s left of me beneath this mask?
Is there nothing more you could ask?”

(Chorus)
Why do you judge what you think lies inside?
I’ve done all I can with nothing to hide.
Luna gave me strength, not a mask to wear,
So why do you look at me with that stare?
They say there’s a beast beneath my skin,
But I never asked to live with this sin.
[Voice cracks more as emotions rise]

(Bridge)
“[Whispering] I tried to run, I tried to fight,”
But you now see a monster in the night.
That’s not my face, not my skin,
It’s something deeper, something within.

“[Rage] I’ve learned to hide what I was before!
But now you look, and you want more!”
“[Crying] My greatest crime was being born,
Why do you tear at the soul that’s now worn?”

(Final Chorus)
Why do you judge what you think lies inside?
I’ve done all I can with nothing to hide.
Luna gave me strength, not a mask to wear,
But you still stand, you still stare.
[Voice is breaking, emotionally raw]
They say there’s a beast beneath my skin,
But I never asked for this, I never asked to live with this “[Crying] SIN!”

(Outro)
“[Roar] BENEATH MY SKIN!…”
“[Fading whisper] It’s still me…”

(Verse 1) Luna didn’t give me this face, But when she found me, I gained strength. I’ve worn my scars, I’ve changed my form, Yet I must still stand against your storm. [Soft, hesitant, as though revealing something long kept hidden] I’ve learned the charm to hide the shame, But still, the whispers call me names. They see a beast, but where is it then? Is there something they see beneath my skin? [Voice cracks slightly on “beneath my skin”] (Chorus) Why now do you judge what you think lies inside? I had done all I could with no chance to hide. And Luna gave me strength, not a mask to wear, So why do you look at me with that stare? They say there’s a beast beneath my skin, But I never asked to live with this sin.
