Hidden beneath the holy grail

You’ll find a girl so weak and frail

There she’ll live forever more

Oblivious to the danger that lies in store

She waits for a boy she knows will come

To wake her up, she is so numb

Her heart is freezing, her hands are cold

Her story is one she hopes never to be told

For 20 years she lies and waits

For the man she both loves and hates

He will come, she knows he will

But until then, time stands still

A single rose placed on her breast

Returns the cadence of her chest

She opens her eyes and there he stands

The fairytale man her heart demands

A silent kiss and whispered words

He wisks her away through the calls of birds

Into the dusk he takes her away

She hopes they will return one day

To share the memories of this day past

The day her suffering ends at last.
