about

"Turn back, Sarah! Turn back before it's too late." -- Jareth, Labyrinth

But don't, Sarah.
--

lyrics

You’ve been so young for so long
Been hiding in the safety of your dreams
Your theatrical scenes

Til one day a wish made
Your ego into something far too real
Now you’re part of a deal with devils

So - you let go
Now you know
What it’s like to be a
Star in someone else’s sky

Don’t stop don’t give in
Don’t let those goblins win
This moment changes everything
You can step off the stage
You can escape your cage
Don’t turn back
You can beat the King

It’s hopeless, makes no sense
It’s not what you expected it to be
Can you ever break free
He’s not like a white knight
He tricks you and you’re saying it’s not fair
But what do you compare it to now

So - you let go
Now you know
What it’s like to be a
Star in someone else’s sky

Don’t stop don’t give in
Don’t let those goblins win
This moment changes everything
You can step off the stage
You can escape your cage
Don’t turn back
You can beat the King

The center - you enter
You face him and it’s so apparent now
You know he has no power over you

Don’t stop don’t give in
Don’t let those goblins win
This moment changes everything
You can step off the stage
You can escape your cage
Don’t turn back
You can beat the King
Don’t turn back
You can beat the King
Don’t turn back
You can beat the King
