Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They bound my hands, they called me a mentally fucked-up bitch
A monster born from fire and pitch
No trial fair, no voice to speak
Just torches raised and angry shrieks
They asked me why I took his damn breath
Who am I to deliver a royal death?
I told them all, my words rang true
But the fucking truth alone won't rescue you

[Chorus]
Truth in the ashes buried deep
Where no one fucking dares to look or cares to weep
But one man stood, his eyes gone wide
"My sister died the exact fucked-up way," he cried
Then another, and yet still one after the other
Let this just warrior free
For there will be no more than another [uncertain wording]
[Layered vocal line, uncertain: "silence ... winter snow"]
The truth had found its voice to grow

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 2]
They told the tale that they all lived in fear
The bruises, screams no one would hear
The prince, the crown, the velvet cage
The charm that masked a quiet rage
Suddenly the crowd as one all stepped back
The fire was put out, the sky was black
They saw the blood beneath the gold
The fairy tale that had grown cold

[Chorus]
Truth in the ashes buried deep
Where no one fucking dares to look or cares to weep
But one man stood, his eyes gone wide
"My sister died the exact fucked-up way," he cried
Then another, and yet still one after the other
Let this just warrior free
For there will be no more than another [uncertain wording]
[Layered vocal line, uncertain: "silence ... winter snow"]
The truth had found its voice to grow

[Bridge]
They dropped the chains, they bowed their heads
They mourned the girls who were now dead
And in their eyes I saw the shift
From hunted bitch to sacred, the gift [uncertain phrasing]

[Final Chorus]
Truth in the ashes rising high
A phoenix born beneath the lie
They called me a hero, called me a flame
No longer bound by fear or shame
The past still burns but now they see
The fire was never born from me

[Outro]
My sweet fairy godmother passed
I didn't know how long I would last
Through your strength that fiery night
Till this moment created a warrior of might [uncertain phrasing]
And in your memory a special song
To all the women will be written
That will let you know
You are not alone
