Cinders’ Song (Live) Lyrics by The Mechanisms

Death To The Mechanisms

2020

[Verse 1: Cinders]
When I was a little girl, my mother always told me
“Someday your prince will come, my love”
But as I grew, I knew it was a princess who would hold me
I looked to the stars for you, my love
[Chorus]
Oh my love, as the cannons were a-blazing
I looked to the stars for you, my love
Oh my love, as our cities you were razing
I looked to the stars for you, my love
[Verse 2]
My world was left a-burning and my royal house a-bleeding
I looked to the stars for you, my love
My stepmother and sisters betrayed our world, conceding
I looked to the stars for you, my love
[Chorus]
Oh my love, as they led me to the prison
I looked through the bars and saw you, my love
Oh my love, my soul was then arisen
I looked through the scars to you, my love
[Verse 3]
A godmother in white, she came, and led me to your crimson
I held you at last in my arms, my love
Together now, we longed to hear the matrimonial hymn sung
Eternally bound to you, my love
[Chorus]
Oh my love, as the soldiers opened fire
On our wedding day, I ran, my love
Forgive me, my love, as I fled ever higher
I ran to the stars without you, my love
[Verse 4]
Years have passed, yet still I search, I know they cannot hide you
I look to the stars for you, my love
The ring will lead me to you and the life they have denied you
I look through the stars for you, my love
[Chorus]
Oh my love, then we'll finally be together
I look through the stars for you, my love
Oh my love, held in my heart forever
Your princess will come for you, my love
Oh my love, oh my love
Your Cinders will come for you, my love
[Spoken: Jonny D'Ville]
"Now that... ah, that was a good war. Our first, do you remember? The doctor had just had her... horrible accident. Falling out that airlock, so clumsy. And we were on our own. Free for the first time. When we found that... beautiful conflict. I still remember! We made land and there, over the ridge, they came cresting. Those scarlet battalions."
[The Toy Soldier]
"Oh, they really had the most splendid uniforms. Most stylish and terrific!"
[Jonny D'Ville]
"Didn't they just."
[The Toy Soldier]
"All that lovely, vivid, bright red blood! Most bracing!"
[Jonny D'Ville]
"It turns black after it dries."
[The Toy Soldier]
"And that's contrast, you know, that's equally stylish!"
[Jonny D'Ville]
"Shall we?"
[The Toy Soldier]
"Oh, rather!"
