Fairy Gold

About how we try to live our lives/relationships in accordance to the rules of fairy tales/love stories, but not realising that all the stories are based in blood

Everybody wants the fairytale ending

But we all forgot that the books

And the characters are flawed

And all stained in blood

Everybody sees the prince on the horse

But not the wreckage in his wake

Or the bodies of peasants

All trampled in the mud

The charm's wearing thin

And your love 

Is dead as soon as it's born

The smiles are fake

Nothing but fairy gold

Vanishing in the dawn

I see the beauty steal the crown

How she murdered her friends

Desecrated the memory of paradise

And left her mother to drown

Romeo and Juliet are a warning

Not an example for us to follow

But the world sees beauty

As I shake my head in sorrow

The charm's wearing thin

And your love 

Is dead as soon as it's born

The smiles are fake

Nothing but fairy gold

Vanishing in the dawn
