Princess (v4 Singify edit)

[Intro - Instrumental] (Piano arpeggios in A minor, soft violin legato over a droning sitar tone.) [Verse 1] In the dark of the maze where the shadows reside, I gave him a thread and my heart to confide. With a whisper of silk, I showed him the way, But I never foresaw he would not choose to stay. [Verse 2] A daughter of Crete with a crown made of fire, I burned for his promise, believed his desire. As he sailed from my shores with no vow, no goodbye, The sea kept his secret, and I wept to the sky. Chorus [Instrumental - Interlude] Oh, Theseus, you left me with silence and sand, Ariadni alone on a desolate strand. And the sails that you raised should’ve flown black, not white— For your father now sleeps in the arms of the night. Instrumental Interlude (Piano plays a soft lament, sitar echoes with bending notes like a wail, violin slides into high sorrowful notes.) [Verse 3] He stood on the cliff where the seabirds still cry, Mistaking the white for the color of lie. And the king took a step with a soul full of dread, The waves wrapped him close in a cradle of red. Bridge [Bridge] Do heroes forget those who bled for their tale? Is love just a wind meant to tear at the sail? I dance now with ghosts in the moon’s silver light, Still weaving my thread through the loom of the night. Final Chorus [Final - Chorus] Oh, Theseus, you left me with silence and sand, Ariadni betrayed by your trembling hand. And the stars turned away when your promise fell through, As the tide claimed your father for the lie told to you. [Outro - Instrumental] (Violin carries a mournful descending melody over a delicate piano motif. Sitar fades like a breath in the wind.)
