Snow White (Songtext)
Diese Ballade behandelt das Thema "Schneewittchen" auf eine sehr düstere Art und Weise. Ich sehe es als eine Hommage an meine Begeisterung für Märchen und hatte eigentlich vor deutlich mehr Songs zu dem Thema zu schreiben. Vielleicht tue ich das auch noch, wenn mich die Muse küsst.

(Strophe 1)
When she was born the angels cried
‘cause on this day her mother died.
She grew up, oh my, beautiful.
She knew that she was born to kill.
She owns the grace of death and sin
With rose-red lips and pale white skin.
(Refrain)
She’s with the creatures in the copse.
The only place where she could hide.
- And no one dares to touch her corpse.
Her hair is black, her skin snowwhite.
(Strophe 2)
In the castle a mistress dwelled
And jealously so proud she yelled.
Beauty was always game of hers.
Snowwhite was fairest of the fair.
In winters night, she had to flee.
- A light in swamp and so are we.
(Bridge)
They told her: “Never leave the path!”
‘cause fairy-wood is full of wrath.
(Refrain)
She’s with the creatures in the copse.
The only place where she could hide.
- And no one dares to touch her corpse.
Her feet are full of mud. Snowwhite!
(Strophe 3)
We live behind the frozen woods
And felt she became one of us.
It’s told we are of fairy kin,
But one dwarf counts for every sin.
Where is the prince to save his bride?
From poison and betrayal she died.
(Refrain)
She’s with the creatures in the copse.
The only place where she could hide.
- And only darkness gave her hope.
And my whole world became snowwhite!
