Beware the Snap (Remastered) is an explosive chapter of *Cinderella Darkly*, where years of buried trauma erupt into a desperate act of protection. When Cinderella witnesses the prince threatening another young woman, the warnings of her fallen fairy godmother return with devastating clarity. Fueled by cinematic strings, powerful rock instrumentation, and emotionally charged vocals, this dark anthem explores abuse, survival, moral conflict, and the terrifying consequences of taking justice into one's own hands. Sometimes the greatest danger isn't the monster hiding in the shadows—it's the prince everyone worships.
[Verse 1]
Years have passed, the fire has cooled
I wore my scars, I played the fool
Tried to live, to let it go
But some ghosts never fucking leave you whole
And I saw the bastard in the square
His hand raised high, the poor girl's eyes in fear
The same cold grip, the same cruel game
And suddenly I knew his fucking name
[Pre-Chorus]
The warning you whispered years ago in the flame
The prince who kills and hides the fucked-up shame
[Chorus]
And right then I fucking snapped
Like glass beneath the weight
Like silence breaking into fate
No more fear, no more delay
I ran, I jumped, my hands wrapped around his neck
And they didn't sway
I took the breath he thought he could steal away
[Verse 2]
The world then went still, the sky turned a horrid black
And I will never, not for anything, take it fucking back
He looked at me, not with regret
But with the pride of no damned regrets
How many hearts had he undone?
How many lives beneath his fucking thumb?
She ran, she wept, she disappeared
And I stood still, consumed by years
And burning rage became a final thread
And I became the end he'd fucking dread
[Fairy Godmother's Warning]
My fairy godmother's sweetest voice
Her strength to force a final plea
“My dear, don't let him write your eulogy”
[Chorus — Repeat]
And right then I fucking snapped
Like glass beneath the weight
Like silence breaking into fate
No more fear, no more delay
I ran, I jumped, my hands wrapped around his neck
And they didn't sway
I took the breath he thought he could steal away
The world then went still, the sky turned a horrid black
Again I say to you
I will never, not for anything, take it fucking back
[Bridge]
This wasn't fucking madness
Wasn't some fucked-up hate shit
It was the closing of a gate
A justice no one else would give
A fucking choice that let another live
[Breakdown]
And I snapped like glass beneath the weight
Like silence breaking into fate
No more fear, no more delay
I took the breath he stole away
[Final Chorus]
The world went still, the sky turned black
And I will never take it back
The world began to move again
The sky turned back to day
And they will not listen, nor will they give a shit
Unjust murder is what they will say
[Spoken Prayer]
My fairy godmother, please hear my call
And if you can, please protect me from
These lies and this fall
[Reprise]
This wasn't fucking madness
Wasn't some fucked-up hate shit
It was the closing of a gate
A justice no one else would give
A fucking choice that let another live
And I snapped like glass beneath the weight
His hand raised high, the poor girl's eyes [unclear]
The prince who kills and hides the fucked-up shame
And justice [unclear]
[Final Prayer]
My fairy godmother, please hear my call
And if you can, please protect me from
These lies and this fall
[Instrumental outro]
