[Verse 1] Hiding a sheath beneath the frills No one knows My secret place Quietly waiting for my time [Pre-Chorus] The curtsy of decorum slips away The minuet slowly breaks [Hook] Take up steel and tread the sacred dance True to our creed [Chorus] With micellar water on our 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 waltz slowly breaks [Hook] Take up steel and tread the sacred dance True to our creed [Chorus] With blush on our blades Rewriting tomorrow Kneeling? Never will I [Bridge] The girl in the mirror Is no longer here The sharpened self Now stands here [Hook] Take up steel and tread the sacred dance True to our creed [Chorus] With rouge on our blades Rewriting fate [Outro:Whispered] Kneeling? Never again
