[VERSE 1]
(Sung by Both - Harmonizing)
We entered the world with a single cry,
Under the same golden, blessed sky.
But hands of greed tore the bond apart,
One kept the crown, one kept the heart.
(The beat drops - Heavy and Regal)
[VERSE 2]
[Princess]
Now I sit high on a throne of red velvet,
Whatever I crave, I simply shall have it.
If the bread is gone, let them eat cake!
The world exists for my happiness' sake.
Does the commoner cry? Do the peasants mourn?
I was chosen by God; I was royalty born!
[Servant]
[Spoken/Softly] My job is to shadow, to clean and to hide...
[Sung]
I stand in the back with a towel and tray,
Washing the blood from your sins away.
They call you a monster, they whisper your name,
But looking at you... is like looking at me just the same.
[CHORUS]
[Both]
Oh, you are me, and I am you!
Though the wall between us splits the view.
[Servant]
If the world holds a sword to your throat today...
[Princess]
(Arrogantly) Then surely you'll drive all the villains away!
[Both]
We are the twins of the blessed and banes,
Bound by the blood running through our veins.
[VERSE 3]
(Music becomes dark, marching drums approach)
[Princess]
The window is shattering! Who are those men?
Why are they screaming "The Witch" again?
My hands are shaking, my tea cup falls...
Brother, I hear them inside of the halls!
[Servant]
Don't worry, my sister, the exit is near.
Take off your dress, leave your crown right here.
Give me the silk, and you take the cape.
This is the only way you can escape.
[Princess]
[Confused] But you’ll be the one that the angry mob sees!
[Servant]
[Smiling sadly] It’s fine, we are twins. I can handle the freeze.
Run to the woods, don't look back at the light.
I will be the Princess just for tonight.
[BRIDGE]
(Tempo slows down to a heartbeat)
[Servant]
(Standing alone on the stage)
The view from the scaffold is cold and high.
The people are cheering to watch me die.
I see you there, hiding deep in the crowd...
Don't cry for me, sister. Just make me proud.
[Princess]
(Whispering from the darkness)
Why did I sin? Why was I blind?
He’s taking the fall that the Fates designed.
The blade is falling—I can't look away!
[Servant]
(Shouting)
If we are reborn in a brand new day...
I’ll find you again, so we both can play!
(Sound of a sharp blade dropping. A loud church bell rings once.)
[OUTRO]
(Silence, then a lone piano plays the intro melody)
[Princess]
(Voice breaking)
The sun goes down on the sins of the past.
The servant is gone; I am free at last.
But here in the harbor, alone by the sea...
I whisper the words you once said to me.
You were me... and I was you.
(She sobs)
...It’s tea time, brother. But where are you?
(Fade to black)
