Lollyland
Amber:
There’s a land made out of liquorice and caramel they say
A sweet and sour gloomy realm that's another world away
Where gummy bats and swirly rats and wild, taffy clans
Roam the gumdrop forests, down in Lollyland

In Lollyland, In Lollyland
Sweet sins upon command
In Lollyland, In Lollyland
Temptations you can't understand

In Lollyland your mother’s queen and just a bit insane
Your name there is Prince Pear and she locked you far away

Queen:
I was brought up near the honey mines where I swore that I would taste
A taste that's like no other, that of power sweet and great
I learned forbidden magic made of gummy blood and bone
Wholе villages I sacrificed till at last I took the thronе
I had a son I vaguely loved, but the crown must stay with me
So I locked him in a tower and then just threw away the key

Amber:
In Lollyland, In Lollyland
Sweet sins upon command
In Lollyland, In Lollyland
Temptations you can''t understand
You live atop that tower and you never leave its space
You spend your time making other worlds with your paint

But enter now the hero, a fair, courageous lass
Who spied you in your tower one day when she did pass
You spoke of dreams and wonder, she would come to you each day
And sure enough, you fell in love, conspired to escape

In Lollyland, In Lollyland
Sweet sins upon command
In Lollyland, In Lollyland
Temptations you can't understand

You fled you ran across the land your true love and you
But the queen insane with hate and rage is after both you two
She was closing in, but this is when, by purely random chance
Arcadia Corp opened a door, plucked you from Lollyland

Your land is in grave peril and your narrative is doomed
I’m sad to say your mom, the queen, was supposed to murder you
Quite horribly, but then you see, your true love would avenge
Your gruesome death, cut mother’s neck and this is how it ends

Because you are not there right now, this fate cannot be spun
And your narrative will soon unfurl, your whole world will done
Your love thinks that the queen has put you back at tower’s eye
She heads there, we must put you back before your love arrives
In Lollyland, In Lollyland
Sweet sins upon command
In Lollyland, In Lollyland
