[Intro - Haunting cinematic strings, choirs, atmospheric spoken chaos]
(evil female deep raspy slow spoken growl)
"Mirror, mirror... I'm the fairest bitch now."
(innocent female soaring whisper)
"You're just a butcher in a glass box!"
(evil witch slow horrific demonic snarl)
"I smell the rot."
(evil mistress deep raspy growl)
"The oven is cold... but I'm hot."
[Verse 1 - Crushing industrial dark metal, heavy distorted bass, slow powerful drums]
(female deep raspy theatrical commanding growl)
They said I was the victim... the victim of the glass
But I learned from the mirror... I'm the one who holds the mask
I wore the red and black... I wore the expectations tight
The system taught me weakness... so I learned to bite
I am the Queen now... I took the throne by force
No apple in a basket... I cut the poison course
My eyes are wide and hollow... staring at the crowd
I don't see a hero... I see a puppet to be bowed
(female deep raspy methodically menacing growl)
I understand the Queen... I understand the pain
To keep the crown on your head... you gotta loose the chain
So fuck the innocence... let the monsters awake
I'm the fairest of them all... and I'm here to take
[Verse 2 - Increasingly dark symphonic metal, soaring orchestrations, dual melodic guitars - female vocals only]
(young female high-pitched frantic emotional operatic)
Wait... you're not the Snow White I knew... you're cold as ice
We have to run... we have to leave this slice
The stepsisters are laughing... but I see the cracks in their smile
I'm trying to save us... trying to stay a while
I see the kids... Hansel and Gretel... lost in the wood
I'm reaching for their hands... but the path is misunderstood
It's not about the shoe... it's about the blood
They burned my house down... I'm not the only one who's mad
But you're standing there... laughing like a villain
While the fire eats the silence... and the truth gets drilled
[Slowing Music]
(Drums stop abruptly for tension)
(frantic emotional ad-lib) **The Witch is coming...**(x2) and you're helping her get there!...
[Verse 3 - Slow heavy doom metal, cavernous atmosphere, horror strings]
(eerie children’s choir)
"Crumb... crumb... crumb... on the ground
Hunger... hunger... all around
We followed the light... we saw the candy house
But it's just a trap... to hide the monster's spout
The Witch is big... the Witch is mean
She wants to cook us... in her steam
You... you're the Queen... you have the power
But we're just the ones... who end up in the oven..!
Step... on the glass... cut the feet
Left behind in the heat
We scream... but no one hears
We're just the stepping stones... for your fears
(eerie children’s choir, deep echoing)
**...your... fears...**"
[Breakdown - Chaotic industrial-symphonic hybrid, layered noise and screams]
(evil female powerful raspy theatrical growl)
"I... am... the... system... broken... fixed..."
(young female soaring desperate operatic)
"No... you're... just... a... liar... sick..."
(eerie children’s choir)
"Oven... fire... burn... bright..."
(dark evil female powerful raspy theatrical growl)
"I... wear... the... crown... tonight..."
(younger female desperate operatic)
"We... are... the... collateral... damage... you..."
(eerie children’s choir)
"Ate..."(x2)
(evil female powerful growl)
"Turned... my.. haters.. to... ash..."
(young female desperate operatic)
(yelling) "Look... at... what... you've... done...
The... kids... are... gone..."
(evil female commanding growl)
"The... Witch... decided... who... lives... and... dies..."
(young female desperate operatic)
"I... tried... to... save... you... from... your... lies..."
(eerie children’s choir)
"She... grabbed... us... by... the... hair..."
(harmony dual female )
"The... game... is... over... we... are... there..."
[Explosive full music chaos]
(Harmony Together)
"OVEN! FIRE! SYSTEM! CONTROL! MELT! BONE! EAT! THEM! DROWN! IN! SWEET! POISON! BLACK! SMOKE! CHOKING! BABY! NO! NO! NO!"
[Outro - Slow haunting orchestral swell, dark riff]
(DARK EVIL slow haunting fading windy breathless)
...They... ruined... me... for... defiance... because... the... evil... I...
because you... created... me... wicked...
but the... system... said... I had no fucking choice... they said...
...look in the fucking mirror... and see?
it's not... never... was... me...
...you... built the... monster you... hated... most...
...you... made this... then dismiss... what... you... can't...
...ignore ...it's just the... horror... you... tell... yourself...
...were you... listening... or are you... WICKED... TOO!...?
(young female whispered, slowly becoming intense)
You smile so pure... so innocent... so clean...
You wear the mask so well... you play the saint...
But underneath... behind those eyes...
You're rotting just like me...
(whispered eerie children’s choir)
...wicked too...(x3)
(slowly fading with wind, breath, ticking)
...tick-tock...(x2)
...who’s the monster now...?
