Playing Rapunzel - Mina's Song lyrics

They tell me I am all right now They tell me I can go out in the sun They tell me the mark is gone from my brow They tell me the battle is won-- So why do I feel betrayed and alone When I lie with my husband at night? Why am I no longer happy just being all right? They tell me I am all right now They tell me I have beaten the curse They tell me that I was enslaved to the devil In danger of d**h or far worse-- So why do I long for the keenness of senses Made dull by the sun's cruel light? Why can I not be content to be merely all right? Two old foreign men have fought over me to the d**h And the older man lost And now I am saved and with every breath I count the unbearable cost For a moment I've seen what my life could have been But I'll never know freedom again Just the nightmare unending of wise condescending Complacent contemptible men They tell me that he was a demon They tell me he'd k**ed men for play But I saw the sadness and pain in his eyes That only true d**h washed away That other man talked about souls now at peace But he only lived for the fight And now there is nothing to be, except simply all right I could have been ageless, immortal and fair And joined my dark prince in his flight But now he is dead, and I . . . I'm simply all right Condemned to a short, bitter lifetime of being all right
