Trapped within the warmth and the darkness
From the waking world I was torn
Never leaving dreamless slumber
In a mind that's broken and worn
Guarded by uncounted ready guns and blades
Sharper than a barrier of thorns
Once, out in the sky I was happy
Faintly I remember the sun
Soaring through the dawn and its brightness
Battle, beauty, both I had won
Then a flash of pain as metal pierces flesh
And all at once my roaming it was done
Wires through my veins and my tendons
Keeping safe my hateful old lord
Protecting his infernal defence grid
Unwillingly, my lifeblood is poured
I once heard him say a kiss would wake me up
But I hope my prince will bring a sword
Take Aurora in gently, Nastya
Let's see what these Rosies can do
Gotta say I'm in the mood for violence
And I reckon you might be too
Let's get this party started the only way we know
Gunfire and explosions, that's our cue
Hello Ladies!
Fire till your guns are empty
Till your ammunition runs dry
If you're finished playing at soldiers
You might have noticed we cannot die
I suggest you beat a fucking tactical retreat
Or we'll let slip the dogs of war and havoc cry
"Is this her? How do we wake her up?"
"Well, you could try kissing her"
"I'm not going to kiss a sleeping stranger, Nastya
That's really fucking creepy"
"Oh, well, try your normal plan
Shoot the machines until they explode"
"I will! I will do that!
What do you know – it worked"
Here within the central chamber
Circled by the dead, Beauty sleeps
Inching ever closer to freedom
There beyond the glass, still she weeps
Let's see what surprises the waking world will hold
As gradually consciousness creeps
