So, shall we begin?
♪
Once upon a time, lying in another place
There stood a kingdom that no others dared to face
Sitting dainty upon the throne
A fourteen year old lady ruled the kingdom on her own
In the lap of luxury, surrounded by the best
Her faithful servant who was different from the rest
Josephine, her most beloved horse was named
Everything worth anything, her majesty had claimed
Haven't any money, then you need not bat an eye
Just pluck it from the hands of those yet bound to die
Those who somehow sought to stand and go against her word
Their execution would not go unheard
"Now, bow down to your Queen!"
Hidden in the dark, an evil flower blooms
Lovely petals, faintly dripping with doom
Dancing in a garden full of slowly dying weeds
Echoes of their cries become the power that she needs
Her heart was longing for what she had hoped to be
A dashing prince of blue from far across the sea
But someone already had hold of his heart
A pretty girl of green threatened to tear her dream apart
Overcome with jealousy, she soon became obsessed
She called the minister to give him one request
With a quiet voice, she made her orders clearly heard:
"I want to see that wretched kingdom of green burn"
Many homes and buildings quickly faded into ash
So many lives were stolen away in a flash
As their painful cries for help were silenced in the blaze
She sat smiling, not even fazed
"Oh! Is it tea time already?"
Hidden in the dark, an evil flower blooms
Lovely petals, faintly dripping with doom
Even though its beauty is enchantingly demure
The thorns all hiding underneath are anything but pure
♪
A plan arose to bring the kingdom to its knees
The people came together, all against the Queen
Marching the masses across the land
A lady in red armor lead them with her sword in hand
All of the anger that she caused throughout her time
Engulfed her kingdom as their livelihoods declined
Growing ever tired of a never-ending war
The thought of crossing soldiers didn't scare them anymore
In the end, the palace was surrounded by them all
The royal staff began to flee before the fall
Beautiful and graceful, she surrendered to her fate
Captured, be it already too late
"How dare you show such disrespect?"
Hidden in the dark, an evil flower blooms
Fading petals, now beginning to droop
What was once a paradise, a dream fit for a Queen
Can't sustain under their pain and crumbles underneath
Once upon a time, lying in another place
There stood a kingdom that no others dared to face
Sitting dainty upon the throne
A fourteen year old lady ruled the kingdom on her own
As the clock chimed three, then it was time to say goodbye
Church bells would sing a song of justice through the sky
Now this tiny girl who people once called a Queen
Is sitting in a prison cell, having lost everything
Finally the hand reaches the designated time
The bells ring loudly, now she averts her eyes
Looking somewhere in the crowd, then swiftly to the sky
She recites the role's final line:
"Oh, is it tea time already?"
Hidden in the dark, an evil flower blooms
Lovely petals faintly dripping with dew
Through the many years to come they told tales of the days
When the one they called the true daughter of evil reigned
