Happily Ever After
embark on a journey with me
of freezing winds and stormy sea
where fairies hide among the glades
and jesters dance with razor blades
come see a castle that reaches the sky
where sparrows sing and bluejays fly
the entrance entrenched by brambles sharp
but in the corner a lonely harp
a shred of hope now lost to fear
and stormclouds linger throughout the year
a house once divided, now asleep
listen closely and hear the angels weep
come see this land, a holy land
maybe then you'll understand
a world that's ruled by firce and ice
where nothing comes without it's price
where maidens can't scream loud enough
for knights to hear their crying
and in between their broken silence
philosophies lay dying
a world of beauty now turned to stone
forgotten saints and devils known
lie in wait amidst the stars
while truth expires behind these bars
