The Lyrics of The Fate of Ophelia:
I heard you calling on the megaphone
You wanna see me all alone
As legend has it you
Are quite the pyro
You light the match to watch it blow
And if youd never come for me
I mightve drowned in the melancholy
I swore my loyalty to me myself and I
(Me myself I)
Right before you lit my sky up
All that time I sat alone in my tower
You were just honing your powers
Now I can see it all
(See it all)
Late one night you dug me out of my grave and
Saved my heart from the fate of
Ophelia
(Ophelia)
Keep it one hundred
On the land the sea the sky
(Land sea)
Pledge allegiance to your hands
Your team your vibes
Dont care where the hell you been
(Been)
Cause now youre mine
(Now)
Its bout to be the sleepless night
Youve been dreaming of
The fate of Ophelia
The eldest daughter of a nobleman
Ophelia lived in fantasy
But love was a cold bed full of scorpions
The venom stole her sanity
And if youd never come for me
(Come for me)
I mightve lingered in purgatory
You wrap around me like a chain a crown a vine
(Chain crown vine)
Pulling me into the fire
All that time I sat alone in my tower
You were just honing your powers
Now I can see it all
(See it all)
Late one night you dug me out of my grave and
Saved my heart from the fate of
Ophelia
(Ophelia)
Keep it one hundred
On the land the sea the sky
(Land sea)
Pledge allegiance to your hands
Your team your vibes
Dont care where the hell you been
(Been)
Cause now youre mine
Now
Its bout to be the sleepless night
Youve been dreaming of
The fate of Ophelia
Tis locked inside my memory
And only you possess the key
No longer drowning and deceived
All because you came for me
Locked inside my memory
And only you possess the key
No longer drowning and deceived
All because you came for me
All that time I sat alone in my tower
You were just honing your powers
Now I can see it all
(I can see it all)
Late one night you dug me out of my grave and
Saved my heart from the fate of
Ophelia
Keep it one hundred
On the land the sea the sky
(Land the sea)
Pledge allegiance to your hands
(Your hands)
Your team your vibes
Dont care where the hell you been
(Been)
Cause now youre mine
(Cause now)
Its bout to be the sleepless night
Youve been dreaming of
The fate of Ophelia
You saved my heart from the fate of
Ophelia
