Dm
Ohohohoho Now, kneel before me, peasants
Am Em Am Dm Am Em Am
[Verse]
Am Em
Once upon a time in a land so far away
F C
Was an evil kingdom that no person dared to face
Dm C
Ruling with an iron fist and standing center stage
Dm Em
Was a noble princess only fourteen years of age
Am Em
There wasn't anything the princess couldn’t have
F C
With a boy just like her serving as her right hand man
Dm Am
Stable full of horses and her favorite, Josephine
Em Am
She could buy the world no matter what the price may be
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
If there wasn't money for the tyrant left to spend
Am G
She'd take it from her loyal subjects to no end
Am G
Anyone opposing her was punished for their crime
F# B
All those who defy me are to die!
A Am
("Now, kneel before me peasent")
[Chorus]
Dm Am
Blooming ever-sweet, the evil flower reaps
Em Am
Drowning in colors til it’s all you can see
Dm Am
Pitiful as ever, they were growing by her side
Em Am
Just to pave the road ahead for her, their destiny to die
[Verse]
Am Em
Don't forget this princess was like any other girl
F C
Falling for a prince in blue who lived across the world
Dm C
But it came to pass he was in love with someone else
Dm Em
A lady all in green who ruled a kingdom full of wealth
Am Em
Envy enveloping, she started seeing green
F C
Summoning her minister, as not to make a scene
Dm Am
Speaking very low, she gave a terrible command
Em Am
“Go seek out the kingdom Green, destroy all of their land”
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
Quickly burning houses right before their very eyes
Am G
No more crying out, they murdered everyone on sight
Am G
News of how the innocent were dying in the streets
F# B
Never swayed the princess in the least
A Am
("oh my, its tea time")
[Chorus]
Dm Am
Blooming ever-sweet, the evil flower reaps
Em Am
Drowning in colors that'll drive you crazy
Dm Am
Beautiful as ever and still growing every day
Em Am
And yet far too many thorns keeping them all too far away
[Instrumental]
Dm Am Em Am
[Verse]
Am Em
To overthrow the evil princess high above
F C
Taking to the streets at last, they all had had enough
Dm C
Leading from the front of such a violent mob, in red
Dm Em
Was a noble dame in armor, coming for her head
Am Em
Angry from the many years of suffering in vain
Dm C
Swallowing the kingdom's people in a wild rage
Dm Am
Soldiers all too tired from a long and violent war
Em Am
Didn't have the energy to even hold a sword
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
Finally they made it to the palace at the end
Am G
Servants didn't wait around and very quickly fled
Am G
Even such a princess so adorable as she
F# B
Captured by the people she should lead
A Am
("HOW DAD YOU, BARBARIANS!")
[Chorus]
Dm Am
Blooming ever-sweet, the evil flower reaps
Em Am
Drowning in colors growing sad and weeping
Dm Am
Living in a paradise created by her mind
Em Am
Aah, everything will crumble in this fleeting dream of lies
[Verse]
Am Em
Once upon a time in a land so far away
F C
Was an evil kingdom that no person dared to face
Dm C
Ruling with an iron fist and standing center stage
Dm Em
Was a noble princess only fourteen years of age
Am Em
Knowing her beheading is at three this very eve
F C
Listen to the sound because the bell will toll for thee
Dm Am
Once a wealthy princess, now a prisoner to die
Em Am
What could she be thinking in her jail cell tonight?
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
Walking to the gallows, hear the chiming of the end
Am G
'Tis a better place they go than ever known ahead
Am G
Never laying eyes upon the people in the crowd
F# B
Whispering aloud their final sound
A Am
("Oh my, its tea time")
[Chorus]
Dm Am
Blooming ever-sweet, the evil flower reaps
Em Am
Drowning in colors til it's all you can see
Dm Am
History remembers, singing to this very day
Em Am
How a daughter of such evil lived in such a wicked way
