C
Oh how sad they sound the songs the queen must sing of dying
Am F Am/E Dm G
A prisoner upon her throne of melancholy sighing
Dm Em
If she could see her mirror now
Dm Em
She would be free of those who bow and
F
Scrape the ground beneath her feet

If she has dreams of no one there
F
Within the shadows of her room
C Am

G C
Inside these empty halls
