(Miku): Ahhhh~ Ahhhhhhh~

asa made odoru yume dake misete
tokei no kane ga toku mahou
aimaina yubi sasou kaidan
sandan tobashi ni hanete iku

(Kaito): basha no naka de furueteta
(both): mijimena furugi mekuri megure yoru no butou

mishiranu kao sagasu sasayaku ano koe ga
nigiri shime ta yaiba tsuki tate subete o ubaeto
minashigo tsudou shiro emi kamen ni egaite
itsuwari no itsukushimi sae hane de tsutsumu serafu

(Kaito): hai no naka de akaku tokete majiru garasu no kutsu

(Miku): imasara kaeru furuete iru no
anata ga me o yaru tokei

nodo made nobiru yubi no saki de

(Kaito): sukuu shizuku kuchi zukete
(both): hashiru shoudou sebone nukete iku setsuna

kane wa narasa nai de anata ni hizamazuki
mada dame to sakenda migite ga tsuki sasu sayonara
kese nai shouen o kousui ni matou hime
tsuyoi hitomi boku no kootta kamen goto uchi nuku

(Miku): ima mo mimi ni anata no toiki ga
tsuki sasaru no tooi yume
(Kaito):sutendo gurasu goshi hikaru tsuki ga
kimi ni kabuseta beeru

(both): doresu hiza de saite tiara wa nage sutete
mitsumeau hitomi to hitomi ga hibana o hanatsu
kodoku na tamashii ga honoo age hikareau
sono namida sukue nai nara marude hitori asobi

toki yo tomare ima wa anata ni yoi shirete
yureru kodou hitotsu hitotsu o kizamitsukete tai
todomare atsuku nure uchitsukeru takamari ni
kore ijou wa ugoke nai yo marude feariteiru

Lyrics: (English) (You can sing along! Cover by Zoozbuh and TBOE)

(Miku): Ahhhh~ Ahhhhhhh~

After being shown a dream, where we danced all night, it seems
The sound of the ticking clock snaps me awake
Fingers luring me away, telling me they cannot wait
I leap down, three at a time, as I make my escape

(Kaito): You tremble from the cold, inside the carriage
(both): Dance in these clothes that will turn back into rags
And you'll be you, by the dawn

A voice whispers softly and tells me,
Find a hidden masked man in the crowd
I tie a blade under my dress and devise a plan
To deprive him of all he has

Orphans gather inside the castle
Each of their smiles hidden, gone or fake
The wings of an angel won't guide you to the truth
Or tell you which path you should take

(Kaito): The glass slipper left up on the stairs
Slowly burns into ash and fades into the air

(Miku): I know you want to go home, you're quivering to the bone
You glance at the tower's clock, to check the time
Kicking my glass shoes away, can't say what I want to say
My fingers slowly reach up and wrap around like vines

(Kaito): I tried to remedy her falling sadness
(both): Impulses running up my body like electricity, suddenly

Hoping that bell will never ring,
I cry out a last pained farewell to you
With the knife in my hand, I slice through your tuxedo
But my feelings, I wish you knew

The lone prince in love with the princess
Gunpowder mixed with the scent of perfume
My ice covered mask breaks into a million shards
Didn't know it would happen this soon

(Miku): I still feel his warm breath rubbing right up against my skin
But now it feels like a dream, from long ago

(Kaito): The silver moon creates a veil, glowing round your body
Your smile shines like the brightest star

(both): Rip the dress, you won't need it again
Throw off your crown, it's well past its use
I connect with you by gazing into your eyes,
And I feel a flame now ignite

You and me, now forever truthful
No need to be who you don't want to be
As long as I do my duty and stop your tears,
I'll make sure you stay here with me

I sometimes wish time would just stand still
So this sweet moment stays in my grasp
I want to be able to store it deep in my heart
To ensure these memories last

This sensation fills me with such joy
Our deep love now can surely never fail
My whole body feels like it's been forever changed
Almost like we're in a fairytale!
