a fairy tale

there are no magics left for us to fear

but it would never do to be so brash

to let the truth out to the common air

our choices have turned out to be too spare

and seem to lack both colour and panache

there are no magics left for us to fear

grief would not hold us and neither would care

we do not do a thing that would seem rash

to let the truth out to the common air

anger's enough to make each truly dare

and give the hero just a touch of dash

there are no magics left for us to fear

a classic moment to lay matters bare

and then the swords and daggers have to clash

to let the truth out to the common air

the bravest will collect she who is fair

the wisest will count up all of the cash

there are not magics left for us to fear

to let the truth out to the common air
