Night and Day


Night and day

Day and night

Sleep till dawn

Sleep till night

Sleep forever

Never to awake

Loves first kiss doth this curse break

Sleep

Sleep

Sleep of death

Sleep

Sleep

Sleep my life away

 

My father broke her heart

My mother birthed a child

The witch cursed my body

Repentance for his sins

To the woods she trod

The castle not safe for her

Raised by fairies she grew to be beautiful

Snow white skin

Coal black hair

Lips red as rubies

So beautiful was she

Innocent and pure

Never knew pain

Never knew torment

Waititng

Waiting

Waiting

 

True loves kiss never came

Seasons passed

Time went by

A prince never came

Her parents soon died

Till this day she lays asleep

Her body hidden magically

No one to find her

No one to save

Her life forever lived

In darkness she lays
