Teksty: Emilie Autumn. Shalott.

She's locked up with a spinning wheel
She can't recall what it was like to feel
She says "This room is gonna be my grave
and there is no one who can save me"

She sits down to her colored thread
She knows lovers wakening up in their beds
She says "How long can I live this way
Is there no one I can pay to let me go

'Cause I'm half sick of shadows
I want to see the sky
Everyone else can watch as the sun goes down
So why can't I

And it's raining
And the stars are falling from the sky
And the wind
And the wind I know it's cold
I've been waiting
For the day I will surely die
And it's here
And it's here for I've been told
That I'll die before I'm old
And the wind I know it's cold

She looks up to the mirrored glass
She sees a handsome horse and rider pass
She says "that's man gonna be my death
'Cause he is all I ever wanted in my life

And I know he doesn't know my name
And that all the girls are all the same to him
But still I've got to get out of this place
'Cause I don't think I can face another night

Where I'm half sick of shadows
And I can't see the sky
Everyone else can watch as the tide comes in
So why can't I

And it's raining
And the stars are falling from the sky
And the wind
And the wind I know it's cold
I've been waiting
For the day I will surely die
And it's here
And it's here for I've been told
That I'll die before I'm old
And the wind I know it's cold

But there's willow trees
And little breezes, waves,
and walls, and flowers
And there's moonlight every single night
As I'm locked in these towers
So I'll meet my death
But with my last breath
I'll sing to him I love
and he'll see my face in another place
And with that the glass above

Cracked into a million bits
And she cried out "So the story fits
But then I could have guessed it all along
'Cause now some drama queen
is gonna write a song for me"

She went down to her little boat
And she broke the chains
and began to float away
And as the blood froze in her veins she said
"Well then that explains a thing or two"

'Cause I know I'm the cursed one
I know I'm meant to die
Everyone else can watch
as their dreams untie
So why can't I

And it's raining
And the stars are falling from the sky
And the wind
And the wind I know it's cold
I've been waiting
For the day I will surely die
And it's here
And it's here for I've been told
That I'll die before I'm old
And the wind I know it's cold (x2)
