strength forgotten

Wandering around in the maze all night

The girl wants to make it out alive

A mansion of ghosts, a mansion of fears

So she ran into the night and dried her tears

Through the darkened hallways the lost girl tried to find

She flew through open doors lost for all time

Every boy and girl caught up within the lie

It's too sad to even cry, oh!

She suddenly grew wings

Feathery winters and darkness

Through the silent night the lost girl sings

Wearing a ruby dress

Through the darkened mansion she runs

Trying to save the ones she loves

"It'll be a secret to the world"

On and on into madness the lost girl twirls

She grasped the key within her hands

Locked away in coffins as the closing plan

She opened it up, and there it was

The thing to rescue the ones she loves

With a dagger held tightly in her palms

The lost girl tries to shed the shawl

That's covered her soul for all time

So all she showed was an entire lie

With one loud gasp she heaves down

Her role reduced to a scheming clown

And with a few whispered words, the girl is gone

But her "family" will live on and on

"To my friends, hear my final cry

To the ones I love, good....bye!"

--

Years later the ache still remains

The truth suddenly laid out so plain

She wasn't a villain, she's a hero

But now she's lying in a cold tombstone

As the curtain closes the pangs in the heart decrease

A night later the audience is laid at peace

Beneath the earth, the lost girl sighs

"They didn't hear my final goodbye"
