The Lengend Of A Princess
(Shlaya guthrie)
Princesses sit in towers, forgottenPrinces ride their noble steeds into the sunset, unforgivenAnd the witches all cackle ?round the pots and stir the brew
One by one, two by two,?round the prickly pears we go
Dragons spurt their fire up into the blood-drenched cloudsUnicorns gallop into the seaWolves howl in the night to the moon, begging
And no one hears, no one ever hears
Three by three, four by four,?round the prickly pears we go
Spread your wings, the minstrels chantSpread your wings and soar awaySpread your wings, dear child?you, at least, can escape
The tiara balances on a precipiceThe scepter shatters on the stonesThe throne rusts and is covered by dust
And no one cares, no one ever cares
Scheherazade?s voice fails and the king takes her lifeIcarus? wings don?t melt and he soars into the sunCinderella lives happily ever after, but Snow White dies?
Isn?t life a grand fairytale?
Five by five, six by six?round the prickly pears we go
The princesses fade into the shadowsThe princes? burn come light of dayAnd no one ever thought it could end
No one ever thought it could endLegends never die
Legends aren?t supposed to die
Seven by seven, eight by eight?round the prickly pears we go
Mary, Mary, quite contraryDidn?t you wed Little Boy Blue?
Where is Valiant, and Charming?Where are the heroes to slay the dragons?Why has Hercules gone away?
Medusa wasn?t supposed to kill Perseus?Get your legends straight
Nine by nine, ten by ten?round the prickly pears we go
Can?t we start again?I don?t think I like where this is going?
Who?s that on the pale horse?And what is following behind him?
Give to me the sky
