He found her lying on the ground
Motionless as a stone statue
She fell years before
Covering the land in shadows as she did
No one ever knew the reason why
But no one dared to ask
Her castle became shabby and worn
The servents still as stone
People feared it
Believed it as a curse
Years went by
No one stirred
And rumors spread
Some said that she'd never wake
That the land would die in time
Others said a kiss was all it took
Would someone be that brave?
Of course
The neglected prince that no one knew
He would do it, that is true
He was the son of a lost line of royality
Practically a nobody
This was his chance
A chance to regain his royal name
He mounted his steed and rode off into the night
THe villagers left behind shook their heads
"The fool shall never make it"
"He has ridden to his death"
They doubted his courage
He reveled in his dreams
He battled the elements ant the terrain
But still he faught forward
He refused to back down on his dream
Save the castle
Save the girl
Regain his name
Live happily ever after
He was the fool
No one lives happily
His doom was coming upon him
He reached the castle tired and worn
But a light kindled in him
A light to press on
He entered the castle and stood in awe
Though years had passed
Though times were hard
The castle still had glory
A glory that was littered with unmoving servents
He braced forward to the tower
His goal nearly complete
He entered her room and found her on the floor
Her skin was white like marble
Her hair black as night
His mind reeled with old folktales
She could wake with a kiss
He knelt beside her
Embracing his path
He leaned Forward with his eyes closed
THis was it, his ticket to life
His lips finally met with hers
What was supposed to happen, didn't
He pulled back from her with a smile
But she did not move
Defeated and lost her turned to leave
THough he didn't know what was in store
His vision blurred and his heart raced
He lost his footing and fell to the floor
Slowly, his life slipped away
Poison claiming his soul
Now the girl wakes up once more
She smiled the smile of pure evil
Triumphant yet again
She claimed another no good fool
A young man who denied the rumors
Those rumors were true
The servents were really of stone
The girl wanted young mens' souls
She pulled him close and kissed him again
Draining his soul from his shell
Feasting on true life, as it were
After her feast of flesh and souls
She'll fall once more which is her role
Again she'll lie and wait for him
Another man who is a fool
No one will listen to the truth
They'd rather follow their own ideas
THe land of her castle will never die
Her victim toll will continue to grow
She is neither angel nor devil
But the Princess with the Poison Kiss
