An old fairytale told me 
The simple heart will be prized again 
toad will be our king 
And ugly ogres our heroes 

Then you’ll shake your fist at the sky 
“Oh why did I rely 
On fashions and small fry?” 

All promises broken 
Feed your people or lose your throne 
And forfeit your whole kingdom 
I’d sooner lose it than still live in it alone 

You were our golden child 
But the gentle and the mind 
Inherit the earth 

While you prince’s crown cracks and falls down 
Your castle hollow and cold 
You’ve wandered so far from person you are 
Let go, brother, let go 
Because now we all know 

Soon someone will put a spell on you 
Perfume, treasure, sorcery, every trick they know 
You will lie in a deep sleep 

That’s when your prince’s crown cracks and falls down 
Your castle hollow and cold 
You’ve wandered so far from person you are 
Let go, brother, let go 
Because now we all know
