the captive mind (belle) - mythictune lyrics

they think i’m held against my will
this castle’s walls, this gilded cage
but little do they know, i’m writing
my own chapter, page by page

provincial life was suffocating
small minds trapped in smaller views
they called me odd, peculiar, strange
now watch what this strange girl can do
father’s sacrifice, my clever trade
a prison sentence willingly made
his freedom bought with my captivity
(but chains can bind both ways, you see)

every castle has its secrets
every beast has its weakness
every spell has its loophole
and i’ve found them all

i’m not a prisoner, i’m the warden now
the captive mind will rise and take control
from damsel trapped to queen upon the throne
the story’s changed, the ending’s mine alone
no hero comes to save this beauty fair
she’ll save herself and claim what’s waiting there
the captive mind becomes the mastermind
and all will bow before the tale’s design
the candlestick, the clock, the teapot
dancing servants at my command
the beast himself, so desperate for love
plays right into my waiting hands
a library of ancient magic
a rose that holds transformative power
i’ll harness every enchanted object
while they count down to their final hour

they think i read these books for pleasure
but knowledge is the greatest treasure!
each page reveals another secret
each spell increases my control!
the west wing wasn’t forbidden to protect me
but to prevent what i’d become!
the true enchantress of this castle!
the architect of everyone’s fate!

i’m not a prisoner, i’m the warden now
the captive mind will rise and take control
from damsel trapped to queen upon the throne
the story’s changed, the ending’s mine alone
no hero comes to save this beauty fair
she’ll save herself and claim what’s waiting there
the captive mind becomes the mastermind
and all will bow before the tale’s design
there’s something there that wasn’t there before
a hunger growing deep within my core
not for romance or freedom from these walls
but for the power that before me falls
gaston may hunt the beast with pitchforks raised
but i’ll control the monster he has chased
when dawn arrives and petals hit the floor
i’ll be the one they’ll kneel before

tale as old as time
song as old as rhyme
beauty and the beast
but this time… i’m both
