Sleigh Beggy (Chise Hatori, The Ancient Magus' Bride)

[Intro] I was born with no veil Could see what was hid Fae, in the hallway And fear in my ribs [Verse 1] Father left with my brother Like a door cut clean My mothers smile was lost Then fell apart in front of me They called me a burden A mouth they could spare I learned how to vanish And not even care [Pre-Chorus] Then the auction lights Felt colder than home I sold my last name Just to be alone [Chorus] I won’t break I won’t break Heartbroken girl, I still awake I won’t fade I won’t fade I was made for more than pain (I won’t break) (I won’t fade) [Verse 2] He bought my life With an ancient Magus hand Elias showed me the shapes Of a different land The books were breathing The candles knew my name I learned spells with trembling I learned to stay the same Then dragon wrath hit me Like iron in rain My left arm went чужой Half curse, half flame It pulled at my heartbeat It pulled at the sky But for the first time I asked “Why must I die?” [Elias] You’re more than the wound You’re more than the ache Say it to the mirror Tell the curse to break [Chorus] I won’t break I won’t break Resilient girl, I still awake I won’t fade I won’t fade I was made for more than pain (I won’t break) (I won’t fade) [Verse 3] Dragon wrath in my blood Left arm waking up like flame Then Cartaphilus came close With an eye for my name Eternal curse in the dark My own curse clawing at time Two wounds balancing out Like a line pulled tight [Bridge] Stone halls, secret doors Ancient names in the dust I learned how to stand tall Learned a body can trust New friends, old ghosts I faced the hurt and the shame Now I guard what I love Now I answer by my name [Final Chorus] [Chorus] I won’t break I won’t break Immortal Magus girl, I still awake I won’t fade I won’t fade I was made for more than pain (I won’t break) (I won’t fade)
