Artist/Band: Emilie Autumn
Lyrics for Song: Shalott
Lyrics for Album: Opheliac Limited Deluxe Edition Double Disc [2006]



She's locked up with a spinning wheel

She can't recall what it was like to feel

She says "This room's gonna be my grave

And there's no one who can save me"

She sits down to her colored thread

She knows lovers wakeing up in their beds

She says "How long can I live this way

Is there no one I can pay to let me go

'Cause I'm half sick of shadows

I want to see the sky

Everyone else can watch as the sun goes down

So why can't I



And it's raining

And the stars are falling from the sky

And the wind

And the wind I know it's cold

I've been waiting

For the day I will surely die

And it's here for I've been told

That I'll die before I'm old

And the wind I know it's cold"



She looks up to the mirrored glass

She sees a handsome horse and a rider pass

She says "That man's gonna be my death

'Cause he's all I ever wanted in my life

And I know he doesn't know my name

And that all the girls are all the same to him

But still I've got to get out of this place

'Cause I don't think I can face another night

Where I'm half sick of shadows

And I can't see the sky

Everyone else can watch as the tide comes in

So why can't I



And it's raining

And the stars are falling from the sky

And the wind

And the wind I know it's cold

I've been waiting

For the day I will surely die

And it's here for I've been told

That I'll die before I'm old

And the wind I know it's cold



But there's willow trees

And little breezes, waves, and walls, and flowers

And there's a moonlight every single night

As I'm locked in these towers

So I'll meet my death

But with my last breath I'll sing to him I love

And he'll see my face in another place"

And with that the glass above her



Cracked into a million bits

And she cried out "So the story fits

But then I could guess it all along

'Cause now some drama queen is gonna write a song for me"

She went down to her little boat

And she broke the chains and began to float away

And as the blood froze in her veins she said

"Well then that explains a thing or two

'Cause I know I'm the cursed one

I know I'm meant to die

Everyone else can watch as their dreams untie

So why can't I



And it's raining

And the stars are falling from the sky

And the wind

And the wind I know it's cold

I've been waiting

For the day I will surely die

And it's here

And it's here

And it's here, and it's here, and it's here

And it's finally here

And it's raining

And the stars are falling from the sky

And the wind

And the wind I know it's cold

I've been waiting

For the day I will surely die

And it's here for I've been told

That I'll die before I'm old

And the wind I know it's cold
