The intermission was up, and I was now standing in a shimmery, silver gown, getting ready to sing. The lights clicked on, and the crowd cheered as we all walked on.

(PLAY SONG)

Enki played a few notes on the synthesizer, and Esmund started to hit the drums.

Sick of all these people talking, sick of all this noise
Tired of all these cameras flashing, sick of being poised
Now my neck is open wide, begging for a fist around it
Already choking on my pride, so there's no use crying about it

(Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei)

I'm headed straight for the castle
They wanna make me their queen
And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean

I'm headed straight for the castle
They've got the kingdom locked up
And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut

Straight for the castle

Oh, all of these minutes passing, sick of feeling used
If you wanna break these walls down, you're gonna get bruised
Now my neck is open wide, begging for a fist around it
Already choking on my pride, so there's no use crying about it

(Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei)

I'm headed straight for the castle
They wanna make me their queen
And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean

I'm headed straight for the castle
They've got the kingdom locked up
And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut

Straight for the castle

There's no use crying about it [4x]

I'm headed straight for the castle
They wanna make me their queen
And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean

I'm headed straight for the castle
They've got the kingdom locked up
And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut

Straight for the castle

The drums paused momentarily so you could just hear the guitars and the keyboard.

They wanna make me their queen
And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean

I'm headed straight for the castle
They've got the kingdom locked up
And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut

Straight for the castle

The crowd cheered as the song ended, and I bowed, preparing for the next song.
