Cinder to Crown

Under cruel stepmother's yoke, she aches

Her governess whispers vengeance by night

A wooden tomb slams shut;

The serpent dies

One tyrant falls;

New shadows lie in wait

In silent embers

Her freedom confined

Secret fire burning

Fate intertwined

Out of the ashes, she rises to fight

Forging fate in the dead of the night

No chains can bind her;

Her spirit untamed

From cinder to crown

Her destiny claimed

One serpent slain;

Yet a hydra rises

Banished to cinders

In rags she's unseen

She wears ashes by day

And dreams by night

A small spark in her

Heart keeps hope alight

Magic whispered

From a tree's secret breath

A queen's heart born

From the dance with death

Out of the ashes

She rises to fight

Forging fate in the dead of the night

No chains can bind her;

Her spirit untamed

From cinder to crown

Her destiny claimed

Under midnight's veil

To the ball she rides

A king falls under

Her spell at first sight

At the stroke of midnight

Away she flees

A slipper of fur lies lost in her wake

He scours the kingdom

To find the foot that fits

The slipper finds its home

Crowning the maid

Heartbeats racing

The past left behind

Ashes fading

Now her stars align

Out of the ashes

She rises to fight

Forging fate in the dead of the night

No chains can bind her;

Her spirit untamed

Once cinder, now crowned

Her destiny claimed

Cinderella danced

Where the wicked fell
