Girls in Uniform: Magic Road

"Come with me, and we'll take the magic road
Where the grass is green and the dandelions grow"

Vikki Flawith: Lady of the Lake

"Feel the lifeblood of the land"

Lyrics:

I wandered on the green and met a lady fair
She stared at me in wonder
How is it that you see me now

I replied there is a strange glow about you
Her horse roared at me as I put out my hand
How is it that you see me

Oh we'll take the magic road, she said
Where the grass is green and the dandelions grow
Feel the lifeblood of the land
The colour of crushed berries
Rush through your soul like water and like snow

The sting and the freedom
The power and the price
Just remember these words of sage advice
Hold on to that which you love, but hold on freely

I wandered in the woods and met a fairy Queen
I stared at that strange sight
How is it that I see you now

She replied there is a berry that glows in the dark
Her courtiers laughed at me as I wondered aloud
How is it that you see me

Oh we'll take the magic road, she said
Where the grass is green and the dandelions grow
Feel the lifeblood of the land
The colour of crushed berries
Rush through your soul like water and like snow

The sting and the freedom
The power and the price
Just remember these words of sage advice
Hold on to that which you love, but hold on freely

  Oh cripes! I've been crucio'd! First time ever! And with such a lovely title and sentiment in the lyrics. Looking forward to hearing this, and looking forward to doing some crucioing myself... FAWM.org had better watch out.

Weird structure. I kinda like it.

Lyrics

A sweet and spicy fragrance drifts across the terra cotta tiles
The children's faces are wreathed in new jam and smiles
The bees are drowsy, in the trees cicadas sing
There's a hope for every dream and a dream for everything

Pretty in white you say
Prettier still I know
Are the seeds of love
In the garden we grow

It's a simple
Incarnation
Love Unto Death
This time no
Complication
Love Unto Death
We'll be together
Forever
To the last breath
Just repeat this
Incantation
Love Unto Death

Pretty in pink you say
Prettier still I think
Is the look on your face
When I give you THAT wink

A sweet and spicy fragrance drifts across the terra cotta tiles
The children's faces are wreathed in new jam and smiles
The bees are drowsy, in the trees cicadas sing
There's a hope for every dream and a dream for everything

Completely love almost every version of Sleeping Beauty I've ever read. In this version the "witch" is usurping the kingdom. Wish I had a Fairy Godmother!

I may cut the last chorus2 for length. Yeah. It's long.

Lyrics

Evil Usurper:

V1:
These walls have grown so thick and strong to keep everyone out
You'll never have true love because every Prince will doubt

There's even a
Princess
Hidden
Away within these thorns
You'll find there's
Nobody
Willing
To brave that wiry scorn

Chorus:
So sleep well
My "darling" Princess of Dawn
Keep on dreaming
Of the Prince who'll never come
You see my power grows in the seeds I have sown
I'll rule this kingdom while your hopes are overgrown

V2:
Every dream has it's own nightmare, every rose has it's sharp thorn
You got in my way and now you'll wish that you never were born

Sweet dreams little
Princess
Hidden
Away within these thorns
You'll find there's
Nobody
Willing
To brave that wiry scorn

Chorus:
So sleep well
My "darling" Princess of Dawn
Keep on dreaming
Of the Prince who'll never come
You see my power grows in the seeds I have sown
I'll rule this kingdom while your hopes are overgrown

Break:
No Prince will ever find you
So hidden away
No kiss will ever wake you
My strength will rule the day

Chorus:
So sleep well
My "darling" Princess of Dawn
Keep on dreaming
Of the Prince who'll never come
You see my power grows in the seeds I have sown
I'll rule this kingdom while your hopes are overgrown

[Musical Interlude]

Fairy:

V3:
Every cloud has a silver lining, every curse has its key
You might have fallen to cursèd slumber, but you still have me

Sweet dreams little
Princess
Hidden
Get your beauty rest
You'll find there's
Always
A way
True love will pass the test

Chorus2:
So sleep well
My darling Princess of Dawn
Keep on dreaming
Of the Prince who'll surely come
You'll see, your legend grows in the rumors I have sown
We'll restore the kingdom when the day of roses comes

Break:
Your Prince he will find you
Even hidden away
True love's kiss will wake you
The Dawn will greet the day

Chorus2:
So sleep well
My darling Princess of Dawn
Keep on dreaming
Of the Prince who'll surely come
You'll see, your legend grows in the rumors I have sown
We'll restore the kingdom when the day of roses comes

Another one sparked by the film I'm in. :)

Lyrics

Oh my love
Sail away with me
Across bright seas of dreams
Weigh anchor and fly above

Oh my heart
Let me travel with you
Show you the shining sunrise
Where magic is born from the dark

Together
Let's break forever open
Drink from the fountain of eternal youth
Together
Let's dance with the fairies
Until we know their laughing, spinning truth

Touch the edge
Of infinite ecstasy
With our pledge
Break forever open

[Instrumental]

Oh my soul
Come let me show you
A land where the seas are made of stars
A land where we can be whole

Together
Let's break forever open
Drink from the fountain of eternal youth
Together
Let's dance with the fairies
Until we know their laughing, spinning truth

Touch the edge
Of infinite ecstasy
With our pledge
Break forever open

Touch the edge
Of infinite ecstasy
With our pledge
Break forever open

Will probably never sing this one.

Lyrics

Once upon a time
I had a fantasy
You were my Knight in shining armour
I was your Queen

Once upon a dream
You were there for me
It didn't have to be so grand as that
To be reality

Well you betrayed me and you became a King
While in poverty and sickness I've been lost wandering
Watching the world be poisoned
By the enemies of every living thing

Once upon a breath
There was clean air
We swam in crystalline fountains
Rode in forests fair

Once upon a hope
I thought you loved me
That together we could build a world
A place to live free

Well you betrayed me and you became a King
While in poverty and sickness I've been lost wandering
Watching the world be poisoned
By the enemies of every living thing

Once upon a wish
When I believed in magic

Do they get a happily ever after? You'll have to find out when the film comes out!

So, yeah, I just wrote a song based on something from an indie film production I'm acting in. :D

Lyrics

From the moment you saw her, she had your heart
I saw your wish rise up into the stars
To be her man
When on four feet
You came into my glen

I remember when you were just a pup
Now I see you holding the wedding cup

So rash, so bold, never doing what you're told
You've let the curse take hold
You've got to gain control
Don't let evil win
Remember the pure love within
Reach for that memory of who you truly are
A man whose love lights the stars

From the moment she saw you, you had her heart
A love that perfect rises to the stars
You were her man
She knew your love
She was so happy then

I remember the story of your True Love's Kiss
Now I see you throw away your days of bliss

So rash, so bold, never doing what you're told
You've let the curse take hold
You've got to gain control
Don't let evil win
Remember the pure love within
Reach for that memory of who you truly are
A man whose love lights the stars

The future I saw for you was brighter than this
Now I wonder will your children ever exist
Do you even recognize your own wife's scent
Will you be a man again when the moonlight is spent

So rash, so bold, never doing what you're told
You've let the curse take hold
You've got to gain control
Don't let evil win
Remember the pure love within
Reach for that memory of who you truly are
A man whose love lights the stars

Not sure of the bridge, it says what I want it to say but the rhythm doesn't scan well.

Lyrics

My friends called me Sleeping Beauty
As I dreamed my life away
Everything I ever wanted
Was sometime, someday

But someday has come
And there's no Prince to save me
I think he thinks his Princess
Is in another castle

It's time to come back to life
Time to rejoin the fight
Time to leap up into flight
The time for dreaming's over
There's so much still to live for
Time to come back
Time to come back
Back to life

Can I make myself a potion for eternal bliss
Give myself a True Love's Kiss
Heal all these curses
Make up all I missed

You see, someday has come
And there's no Prince to save me
I think it's crass to demand
A ransom for my Kingdom

It's time to come back to life
Time to rejoin the fight
Time to leap up into flight
The time for dreaming's over
There's so much still to live for
Time to come back
Time to come back
Back to life

Is there a cure for kryptonite
I'm so tired of eternal night
Locked away without a key
I guess fairytales don't always end happily
These briars are too thick
For any Prince to even see...
If I want an ever after at all
It's up to me

It's time to come back to life
Time to rejoin the fight
Time to leap up into flight
The time for dreaming's over
There's so much still to live for
Time to come back
Time to come back
Back to life
