Cinderella, will you ride, will you ride with me?
Out into a smoke-filled night, across the bridge of tears,
Where children with their eyes sewn shut lay begging on the stones
And will we lead them from this dust?
Yes. we will lead them home.
All away, let it all away, til there's nothing to carry and nothing to worry
Now fall away, let it fall away, til you're light as a bird in the air.
Cinderella riding down on the ebbing tide
Down to mend the broken cups and their foolish pride
Solace to the angry mob, succour to the weak
Cinderella, cup of love, their pain is what you seek.
All away, let it all away, til there's nothing to carry and nothing to worry about
Fall away, let it fall away, til you're light as a bird in the air
All away, let it all away, til there's nothing to carry and nothing to worry about
Fall away, let it fall away, til we're light as the birds in the air.
Cinderella, queen of bells, Cinderella ride
Leave them with their fond farewells and their petty crimes
Leave behind the bloodlet clouds, rise up on sparrow wings
And you shall be a queen of shrouds, the queen of helpless things.
