Pretty, pretty girl

Standing in a palace world

Here I am instead

In a room with just a bed

Pretty, pretty girl

Wearing many sparking pearls

Here I am instead

Without a hat to warm my head

———

But when the earth sinks into the sea

When the the flames burn all you see

When the hurricane’s blowing free

I know you’ll come running to me

———

Standing here with no power

I could’ve consigned you to destiny dour

But I’m better than your violence

And I won’t sit here in silence

Standing here with my power

Letting my blood flow feed this flower

I am holding to the secret

Even if I die to keep it

———

Handsome, handsome boy

To you life is just a toy

To me it is pain

And yet I praise each fall of rain

Handsome, handsome boy

With every moment to enjoy

To me it is pain

But I’ve always been insane

———

But when the earth sinks into the sea

When the the flames burn all you see

When the hurricane’s blowing free

I know you’ll come running to me

———

Standing here with no power

I could’ve consigned you to destiny dour

But I’m better than your violence

And I won’t sit here in silence

Standing here with my power

Letting my blood flow feed this flower

I am holding to the secret

Even if I die to keep it

———

I have given all I have

I have given even more

Just to guard all that we have

From your constant blinded war

You need this earth as well

You all need it just to live

Even if you took so much

I will still burn and give

———

Standing here with no power

I could’ve consigned you to destiny dour

But I’m better than your violence

And I won’t sit here in silence

Standing here with my power

Letting my blood flow feed this flower

I am holding to the secret

Even if I die to keep it

———

When the earth sinks into the sea

When the the flames burn all you see

When the hurricane’s blowing free

I know you’ll come running to me

When the earth sinks into the sea

When the the flames burn all you see

When the hurricane’s blowing free

I know you’ll come running to me

But you better run right now

Stop expecting me to bow

I can’t save us by myself

I need you to give your help
