Girl In The Ashes (Dark Cinderella)

[Intro] [slow eerie piano with distant distorted violin and breathy coloratura hum] [Verse 1] They locked the doors and they laughed while I cried Glass slipper cutting my heel as I tried To run from the ball where the bodies all lay The prince with his smile and his blood on the blade [Pre-Chorus] Midnight strikes and the deal comes due [Chorus] I’m the girl in the ashes, the one they forgot Now I’m wearing their skin like a brand new gown I’m the girl in the ashes, the one they forgot And the clock keeps on ticking till they all go down [Verse 2] Fairy godmother smiled with her teeth full of rot Said “one drop of blood and the carriage is bought” Stepsisters screamed when I sharpened the heel Now their pretty little faces are part of my deal [Chorus] I’m the girl in the ashes, the one they forgot Now I’m wearing their skin like a brand new gown I’m the girl in the ashes, the one they forgot And the clock keeps on ticking till they all go down [Bridge] [slow theatrical violin solo with wide seductive coloratura runs building to screaming intensity] They wanted a princess who’d smile and obey I gave them a nightmare that won’t go away [Verse 3] Prince tried to run but the slipper fit tight Now he’s screaming my name every single night The kingdom is burning, the ballroom is red Cinderella’s awake and she’s coming for heads [Final Chorus] I’m the girl in the ashes, the one they forgot Now I’m wearing their skin like a brand new gown I’m the girl in the ashes, the one they forgot And the clock keeps on ticking till they all go down [Outro] [defiant soaring coloratura ad-libs with distorted violin and fading piano] I’m the girl in the ashes… yeah… coming for heads…
