Текст песни
We feared to awaken the children’s despair
We tailored the lies, rewrote what was there
And each of us carries a secret inside
Regretting the fables that swallowed our light
We dressed up the witches in gowns of a queen
But all of it played like a cheap painted scene
The truth is not found in the stage or the show
It lives in the reader who dares not let go
We never wanted to frighten the young
So truth was buried in books full of dust
But what is left when the stories are done
And even the credits betray all the trust?
We don’t need the glitter, we need what is real
Where sorrow and fear are the wounds that can heal
It’s time to unveil the shadowed domain
So children will learn that life’s not a stage play
The slipper is bloody — the ball hides the screams
The sisters go blind with their envy and schemes
The apple decays with the witch’s own breath
And mirrors are shattered by sins never left
Betrayal has taken the blame
The mermaid dissolved in the foam of the waves
Love turned to a curse, hope faded away
And freedom’s a ghost that just runs into gray
We never wanted to frighten the young
So truth was buried in books full of dust
But what is left when the stories are done
And even the credits betray all the trust?
We don’t need the glitter, we need what is real
Where sorrow and fear are the wounds that can heal
It’s time to unveil the shadowed domain
So children will learn that life’s not a stage play
You burned out the truth from the pages of old
Rewritten the images, lies to be sold
Erased from the world, our own fates rearranged
But truth can’t be hidden, just endings are changed
We’re written in books, yet erased from the stage
Our voices are silent, our smiles disengaged
But masks cannot hide what is heavy with shame
The truth only sleeps underneath all the blame
We are tired of silence, our voices will rise
Through glittering tales that have blinded your eyes
We’re not the heroes, not villains you see
We are the ones who know truth underneath
Now hear our call — the truth is inside
Where sorrow and fear are no reason to hide
It’s time to tear down this invisible chain
That locks you away in the fairytale’s frame
Let the masks all collapse, let fa;ades be destroyed
It’s time to cut short this deceiving parade
It may leave you bleeding — but freedom remains
For truth is what rises in liberated veins
