What's told in stories, what's told in tales Can turn to glory or bring decay When good and pure still fail to rise Something dark and wicked will sure arise Awaken, arise, forsaken Pushed aside and left to die Someone else will guide your life The smiling virgin will turn to stone The sleeping beauty forever mourned Your deepest fears all cast away A lesson dear is about to come your way Awaken, arise, forsaken Pushed aside and left to die Someone else will guide your life When good and pure still fail to rise Something dark and wicked will sure arise Your deepest fears all cast away A lesson dear is about to come your way Awaken, arise, forsaken Pushed aside and left to die Someone else will guide your life
