I have to leave this palace With its unforgiving gaze The jealousy's meticulous The green eyed envy of its face This heart shall have some peace then For it comes away to thee And it shall write for pangs of love And the art of liberty This world has asked the ransom For some forgotten child That learned to fear her own ambition That never wept nor ever smiled But the quality of beauty Is hidden from itself Her mirror cracked from side to side What cause had I for vanity For I knew that dark was right But this mind shall have some comfort then For it comes away to thee And it shall love for reason's sake Her own deformity

Stolen child
I have to leave this palace With its unforgiving gaze The jealousy's meticulous The green eyed envy of its face This heart shall have some peace then For it comes away to thee And it shall write for pangs of love And the art of liberty This world has asked the ransom For some forgotten child That learned to fear her own ambition That never wept nor ever smiled But the quality of beauty Is hidden from itself Her mirror cracked from side to side What cause had I for vanity For I knew that dark was right But this mind shall have some comfort then For it comes away to thee And it shall love for reason's sake Her own deformity
