In the way that stories end
The princess will carry the crown and then
She marries him, no lover
But that's how the story goes
The wedding short, their lives are long
She teaches the baby her only song
And tries to hide that something is wrong
And the dragon knows
What you want to say now
What you'd go back and change
That your pain's not what the world needs
When your heart bleeds
Let it rage, throw it all away
Run on down into the darkness, oh my love
She sings a sad song for the bird in a cage, and
If you ever have to wonder who you are
You love not the man who saves you but who keeps you warm
Love so sad, it had no name
The emperor buried his face in shame
The people say the dragon's to blame
He devoured her
Men and gods cannot condone
The pity she holds for the man in stone
Take up arms and make him atone
For the massacre
Take the key, take the gun
You can save him if you run
Keep the shadow of the sun
To your back the moment he asks you
What have I done? (What have you done?)
Ooh
We can break the curse
When it takes me, you can make do
I forgive you
But your love made me so hurt
Run on down into the darkness, oh my love
Your courage and hope are both strangers to shame, and
If you ever have to wonder who you are
You love not the man who saves you (Find him, save him, make him)
But who keeps you warm (End the war)
How you try to be strong
But your eyes give the lie
Oh why, oh why? (What have I done?)
Kiss the lives that he wanted goodbye
Because this time
Mercy means that (Anton help, I'm) (Show the gods you're)
Someone has to (So afraid to die) (Not afraid to)
Die
