lyrics

Corset queen
Diamonds are her body
Silk and lace
Watered wine and high tea
Ripped up tights
Rings of gold and ivory
These riches mean nothing to love

Broken nails
They tell a different story
Dusty crown
None behold your glory
Empty halls
The red queen isn't sorry
Heads will roll, her word from above

When it's over
No they won't remember her name
An empty kingdom
And now she has no one to blame
But her fame

Autumn winds
Bring the news of the fall
Some would say
That's when she'd lose it all
'til this day
No one broke through her wall
Cataclysmic proof that money brings fear

Winter winds
Ignite the darkest hour
Bloody stains
Upon the frozen flowers
Silent peace
At the collapse of power
A throne ignited and they cast her away

Empty words
No one came when she called
A sorry sight
From she who once had it all
Darkened tomb
Screams behind her cell wall
Tarnished silver on Judgement Day

Now it's over
And everyone remembers her name
A name so ugly
Twisted into nothing but pain
And her shame

A wealthy state
Diamonds line their city
Everyone
Wealthy in wine and high tea
And not a soul
Looks back with any pity
Hoarding riches leaves no room for love
