They're storming
the castle,
they're torching the stables
Slaying the peasants and
turning the tables
Climb to the high tower,
trample the slain
Then capture the princess
and steal her away
And just when it looks like the end is nigh
In comes the king with a fire
in his eyes saying
Leave her alone, she's just a child
And she's as frail as a flower
Leave her alone, she don't need you
Turning everything sour
She's not your pawn,
leave her alone
You know that her doubts
are as dry as tinder
But you still flick a match
and grin like a winner
You tell her she's empty,
you plant that seed
So she'll ache for a vapor
she don't even need
It's beautiful poison aimed at the heart
It's just the right size to blow it apart
Leave her alone, she's just a child
And she's as frail as a flower
Leave her alone,
she don't need you
Turnin' everything sour
She's not your pawn,
leave her alone
Well one day you'll wake to the sound of invasion,
the screams of confusion, your palace ablaze
and you'll reach for your weapon and fight for your kid,
you'll hack at the ones doing
Just what you did and you'll hear the
princess's desperate cries
You'll be the king with
fire in his eyes
Leave her alone
She's just a child
Jesus frail as a flower
Leave her alone
She don't need you
They're turning everything
sour
She's not your pawn, leave her alone
Leave her alone
