I used to be a queen in a kingdom far away
I lived in a castle in the sky, I could waste my time with play
I pretended to be a nightingale, singing free in the dark
Every morning I woke up in my cage, with the wish I could be a lark
I will always revolve
I will always revolve
I will always revolve
Not a question to ask
Not a problem to solve
Not one thing to say, but I'll find a way
Just hand me a task
So I became a soldier, driven by the force
To save what matters, save the better, save the higher lords
I fought myself through the years and forgot who I was
I used to be a queen in a castle in the past
Now I am a wanderer, a haunted empty shell
On my endless way I’m hunting stories I could tell
They slip away every time I reach my fingers out
And I never catch any of them, the voice in my head’s laughing loudly:
"You will always revolve, you will always revolve, you will always revolve
Not one fairytale, you are to fail
Why don’t you lay down, get rid of your crown
you never owned it anyway"
So, I’m lying on the ground
Looking up to the skies
Where once my kingdom was are now only clouds in disguise
I close my eyes and retrieve
My imagination from sleep
And I finally can let go of everything I can’t keep
I will always evolve,
I will always revolt,
I will turn the next page
Catch me if you can, but don’t think I am
The next bird in your gilded cage
