This Cursed Tower
Trapped by my fate.
Locked in my tower,
Forbidden to leave,
Cursed, bewitched, alone here,
I look through my looking glass at the world,
My innocence blinds me from their evils,
Still, I yearn to be part of their world,
Alone in my tower, I wonder forever,
When will I begin to live?
Spread my wings and fly away,
To never bear the burden of my mother’s before me,
Set me free, oh, keeper of my key!
Through my looking glass, I spy him pass,
Every day on his beautiful bay,
He will be my life,
And he will be my end,
The one to plunge the dagger into my heart,
For alas, he can never be mine, oh fair, fair rider, mine,
Savoir of my loneilness, keeper of my dreams,
Fates design,
My lifes assigned,
To never live past this day,
I saw him there, and hadn’t I known,
I could never have flown from my perch,
The keeper of my dreams, the savior of my
loneliness,
I wish him best, and his fair maid of dress,
I look away, and feel the pain,
Ebbing in my heart, the hardest part,
Finally today, I break my chains,
Set aside my fears, and bear the curse,
My only last remorse,
Was never breaking course,
To change the fate at which was mine,
The cold stone perch at which I sit,
Breaks the line of my confines,
With one last look, I break the fate,
With one last breath, I sieze the moment,
Todays the day, I fly away,
Immerse myself in the freedom,
And break away from the curse, that kept my captive,
Propelling through the air, I finally know
How it feels to fly.
