The coach stands   Waiting just outside   Just in case the queen   Should want to take a ride   But she stays   Safely locked away   She knows the world outside   Can be so cold and grey      Daughters of the queen   Come outside and play   Slip into the nighttime   Before it slips away      Her castle   Looms into the sky   Behind those walls   You'll never see   A fear fall from her eye   She seems content   To live her life all alone   But locked inside   Those castle walls   Her heart has turned to stone      Daughters of the queen   Come outside and play   Slip into the nighttime   Before it slips away   Daughters of the queen   Come let me hold your hand   Isn't it about time   You need to feel a man      Today her majesty has gone   In death's repose   It's much too late   She lies there all alone   Alas the dreams   Inside her heart   Sleep forever silent   Imprisoned by the dead      Daughters of the queen   Come outside and play   Slip into the nighttime   Before it gets too late
