The Curse
We've heard the tale since we were young;
Heard the songs that have been sung
About an evil spell.
Someone beautiful is cursed.
We feel sad through ev'ry verse;
'Til a kiss, and all is well!
The message that no one can see
Is clearer to someone like me:
There is no curse or evil spell
That's worse than one we give ourselves.
There is no sorceror as cruel
As the proud, angry fool.
That's worse than one we give ourselves.
There is no sorceror as cruel
As the proud, angry fool.
Beneath our cries the truth is there;
The power that will break the spell,
We should know very well,
Is locked within ourselves.
Yet we'd rather blame
And curse our fate than change;
We'd run from ev'ryone to hide from the pain
And all the shame...
The story's old, we know it well;
About a wretched, evil spell.
The power that will break this curse,
Oh I know all too well,
Is locked within myself.
