run
The clock struck midnight
And down went the axe
The pumpkin, glass slipper
All that was left
The clock struck midnight
And it all disappeared
Ball gown, carriage
Nothing is left here
The stars are old
And the day grows cold
And the cards all fold
And the twisted darkness grows
All that is left
Is a piece of glass
Worthless and obsessed
She runs far away...
--
The clock struck midnight
And the lone werewolf cries
Left and so lonely
He wonders if it's time that he should die
Glass shards cut into
Every piece of youth
He underestimated the
Things that love can do
Forever destined
Denied his family
The only hope
Has run away barefoot
If he wishes
To catch his Alice
Then Romeo's gotta
Run far,
far,
far,
far away...
