Shalott Lyrics - Opheliac - Emilie Autumn

She's locked up with a spinning wheel 

She can't recall what it was like to feel 

She says this room is gonna be my grave 

And there is no one who can save me 

She sits down to hear colored 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 I'm half sick of shadows 

I wanna see the sky 

Everyone else can watch the sun goes down 

So why can't I? 

And it's raining and the stars are falling from the sky 

And the wind, and the wind I know it's cold 

I've been waiting for the day I will surely die 

And it's here, and it's here for I've been told 

That I'll die before I'm old and the wind I know it's cold 

She looks up to the mirrored glass 

She sees a handsome horse and rider pass 

She says that man's gonna be my death 

'Cause he is all I ever wanted in my life 

I know he doesn't know my name 

And that all the girls are all the same to him 

But still I've got to get out of this place 

'Cause I don't think I can face another night 

Where I'm half sick of shadows 

And I can't see the sky 

Everyone else can watch as the tide comes in 

So why can't I? 

And it's raining and the stars are falling from the sky 

And the wind, and the wind I know it's cold 

I've been waiting for the day I will surely die 

And it's here, and it's here for I've been told 

That I'll die before I'm old and the wind I know it's cold 

But there's willow trees 

And little breezes, waves and walls and flowers 

And there's moonlight every single night 

As I'm looked in these towers 

So I'll meet my death but with my last breath 

I'll sing to you my love 

And he'll 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 could have guessed it all along 

'Cause now some drama queen is gonna write a 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 I'm the cursed one 

I know I'm meant to die 

Everyone else can watch as their dreams untie 

So why can't I? 

And it's raining, and the stars are falling from the sky 

And the wind, and the wind I know it's cold 

I've been waiting for the day I will surely die 

And it's here, and it's here, and it's here, and it's here 

And it's here, it's finally here 

And it's raining and the stars are falling from the sky 

And the wind, and the wind I know it's cold 

I've been waiting for the day I will surely die 

And it's here, and it's here for I've been told 

That I'll die before I'm old and the wind I know it's cold
