The Ballad of Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty, your kingdom will fall into disarray Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty, if you don't wake up today Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty, it's been a month or two or four Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty, people are sleeping on the floor. The village people cannot move immobile where they stood It seems that time has stopped Wake up to help them as you should Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty, your kingdom's falling into disarray Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty, if you don't wake up today Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty, it's been a year or two or four Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty, people are starving on the floor. You must go, you must wake You may be cursed but you must be The queen we want, the queen we need The queen who'll solve our misery Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty, your kingdom's fallen into disarray Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty, if you don't wake up today Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty, it's been a decade or two or four Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty, people are dying on the floor. The people outside the sleeping village Have no farmers, have no friends because inside the town were all our lives And we will meet our bitter ends. Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty, your kingdom's gone, and all is grey Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty, you may never see the light of day Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty, it's been a century, maybe more Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty, people are dead on the floor.
