Briar Rose

Briar Rose  

 

 Since the very day I was born I had been a princess

On that cursed day I had encountered Maleficent

She’d no invitation to my parents’ court

So upon me she imposed her evil will

At age sixteen I would forever more sleep

Living in eternal sleep

I am still yet I haven’t any peace

In my youth I would sing as I picked berries

And I’d fancy a passing forester

For him I did sing

My voice was his guiding star and to my heart it did him bring 

No matter if he is with me 

We will never reunite 

Nor the three fairies who raised me

My heart does sing but no voice have I

I was hidden from Maleficent upon my infancy

My gift was a dress of blue on my sixteenth birthday

And blood that runs forever cold

I am asleep but I find no rest

My heart stills beats in my paling flesh

Now here I lie

Clad in pink, decaying, rose wielding

I am a great beauty yet I haven’t any joy

Girls in your prime who seek to live a fantasy life

Draw near to my tale and know my life

Whenever you feel a lack of love

Remember Briar told you so

A princess may be I but a princess life is not mine

No- A princess may be I but a princess life is not mine
