[Lyrics for Emilie Autumn – Shalott]
Shes locked up with a spinning wheel
She cant recall what its like to feel
She says, this rooms gonna be my grave,
And theres no one who can save me
She sits down to her coloured thread
She knows, lovers waking up in their beds
She says, how long can I live this way
Is there no one I can pay to let me go
cause Im half sick of shadows
I want to see the sky
Everyone else can watch as the sun goes down
So why cant I
And its raining
And the star are falling from the sky
And the wind, I know its cold
Ive been waiting
For the day I will surely die
And its here
And its here for Ive been told
That Ill die before Im old
And the wind I know its cold
She looks up to the mirrored glass
She sees a handsome horse and a rider pass
She says that mans gonna be my death
Cause hes all I ever wanted in my life
And I know he doesnt know my name
And that all the girls are all the same to him
But Ive still got to get out of this place
cause I dont think I can face another night
Where Im half sick of shadows
And I cant see the sky
Everyone else can watch as the tide comes in
So why cant I
And its raining
And the star are falling from the sky
And the wind, I know its cold
Ive been waiting
For the day I will surely die
And its here
And its here for Ive been told
That Ill die before Im old
And the wind I know its cold
But theres willow trees
And little breezes, waves and walls and flowers
And theres moonlight every single night
As Im locked in these towered
So Ill meet my death
But with my last breath
Ill sing to him I love
And hell see my face in another place
And with that the glass above
Cracked into a million bits
And she cried out so the story fits
But then I couldve guess it all along
cause now some drama queen is ganna write song for me
She went down to her little boat
And she broke the chains and began to float away
And as the blood froze in her veins
She said well then that explains a thing or two
Cause I know Im the cursed one
I know Im meant to die
Everyone else can watch as their dreams untie
So why cant I?
And its raining
And the star are falling from the sky
And the wind, I know its cold
Ive been waiting
For the day I will surely die
And its here
And its here
And its here
And its here
And its here
And its finally here
And its raining
And the star are falling from the sky
And the wind, I know its cold
Ive been waiting
For the day I will surely die
And its here
And its here for Ive been told
That Ill die before Im old
And the wind I know its cold
