[Title: OFF WITH YOUR HEART] [Intro] If roses are red, then red they shall stay I’ve no use for colours that wander astray Lift up your head— Though I never gave you leave Now, Kneel. [Verse 1] One click of my heels and the whole room dies Do mind where you place those wandering eyes You pin little virtues over your chest How terribly sweet— You’ve dressed for your best No need to show me the card up your sleeve Your shaking hands tell me all I need Fate, little miracles, heaven above— Losers do chatter when push comes to shove [Pre-Chorus] Paint every pale little rose in red Then perhaps this garden may please me instead The judgement? Darling, There’s only one Why waste breath asking? [Chorus] Off with your heart Lay it down before me Love and your pride Let them scatter crimson at my feet Off with your heart Touch the crown and you will learn That single little second Is the last one you have earned Cry if you like Scream if you must The verdict will not move Inside my garden I decide the rules [Verse 2] No need for applause—it’s only correct The rightful one wins; what else did you expect? If you raise your blade, then by all means, do A moment’s amusement— How thoughtful of you One step closer, roses take flight One step backwards, you fall from my sight Loyalty? Please. I’ve no need for devotion Simply learn Not to oppose me [Rap] Bow to the crown, better mind your manners Red on the roses, red on the banners Queen on the beat, no plea, no pardon Step out of line, get cut from the garden Click-clack heels and a cold-cut stare Talk that brave till I enter the square Ace in your sleeve? I don’t even care I own the table, the deck, the chair Rule, ruin, royal routine Too sharp, too sweet, too cruel, too clean Beg for favour, kiss the ring You came for a fight? I came to reign. [Breakdown] Quiet now One shouldn’t make Such a fuss at the scaffold At least at the end Try to look beautiful Red— It does suit you [Final Chorus] Off with your heart Lay it down before me Dreams and tomorrow Turn to roses at my feet Off with your heart Keep your eyes upon the crown Let me hear that final heartbeat As the whole world tumbles down Good or evil Love or hate Mean nothing in my court When the world is kneeling Everything is as it ought [Outro] Well... How wonderfully quiet Now then— Who’s next?
