HISTOIRE D’AMOUR, flying marionettes, Nikolai Zykov Theatre, Russia. CC-3

Once My

Once my queen
took my dream
wore it on her heart

Once my choice
stole my voice
put it in a box

tied with cords
all my words

amulet

Once my love
high above
held onto those strings

the marionette
dances, sings

to cut them
be the end
