The Mechanisms
Cinders’ Song
[Verse 1: CINDERS]
When I was a little girl, my mother always told me
“Someday your prince will come, my love”
But as I grew, I knew it was a princess who would hold me
I looked to the stars for you, my love

[Chorus]
Oh my love, as the cannons were a-blazing
I looked to the stars for you, my love
Oh my love, as the cities you were razing
I looked to the stars to you, my love

[Verse 2]
My world was left a-burning and my royal house a-bleeding
I looked to the stars for you, my love
My stepmother and sisters betrayed our world, conceding
I looked to the stars for you, my love

[Chorus]
Oh my love, as they lead me to the prison
I looked through the bars and saw you, my love
Oh my love, my soul was then arisen
I looked through the scars to you, my love

[Verse 3]
A godmother in white, she came, and lead me to your crimson
I held you at last in my arms, my love
Together now, we longed to hear the matrimonial hymn sung
Eternally bound to you, my love
[Chorus]
Oh my love, as the soldiers opened fire
On our wedding day, I ran, my love
Forgive me, my love, as I fled ever higher
I ran to the stars without you, my love

[Verse 4]
Years have passed, yet still I search, I know they cannot hide you
I search through the stars for you, my love
My ring will lead me to you and the life they have denied you
I search through the stars for you, my love

[Chorus]
Oh my love, then we'll finally be together
I search through the stars for you, my love
Oh my love, laid in my arms forever
Your princess will come for you, my love

[Outro]
Oh my love, oh my love
Your Cinders will come for you, my love
