Ash To Ash

[THE FAIRY QUEEN OF SWEET DREAMS]
Lady Ashmore danced
All alone at night
In the thick of wild
Magic
Lady Ashmore burned
At the stake in time
For her clan to find
Her tragic

The flames of ruination take their hold

[ELLA]
Of every soul

[THE FAIRY QUEEN OF SWEET DREAMS]
And every throne
The house of Ashmore no exception, oh
A story so old
It's nothing but bones!

It all turns to ash and ash
And dust to dust
And there's nothin' left but a vengeful lust
Hopes are dashed and dashed
And dreams are lost
When the light goes out
Only fire is just
[NARRATOR, spoken]
Ella found herself in an endless void, floating on tides of nothingness for in this place, at the end of time, that is all that remains...
Save one flickering mote

[ELLA, spoken]
What is that?

[THE FAIRY QUEEN OF SWEET DREAMS, spoken]
That is the last bit of light in this eternal dark. From it I shall craft your final gift: Trappings of Starlight

(sung)
I forge you these three gifts

[ELLA]
You forge me these three gifts

[THE FAIRY QUEEN OF SWEET DREAMS]
For your just intentions

[ELLA]
For my just intentions

[THE FAIRY QUEEN OF SWEET DREAMS]
Against your opposition

[ELLA]
Against my opposition
[THE FAIRY QUEEN OF SWEET DREAMS]
Use them

[ELLA, spoken]
Wisely?

[THE FAIRY QUEEN OF SWEET DREAMS, spoken]
Hardly

(sung)
The house of Ashmore rises once again

[ELLA]
It rises once again
Is that how this ends?

[ENSEMBLE]
Is that how this ends?

[THE FAIRY QUEEN OF SWEET DREAMS]
That all depends

If you turn them all to ash and ash
And dust to dust

[ENSEMBLE]
And justice is done
When your vengeance is won
[THE FAIRY QUEEN OF SWEET DREAMS]
Eternity laughs and laughs
At its destruction
But a god will see
That your enemies run
And for your final gift, I grant thee starlight!

[THE FAIRY QUEEN OF SWEET DREAMS & ENSEMBLE]
(Ash to ash)
The last bit of light in eternal dark
(Dust to dust)
Where all things return and all things will start
The dying ember of the flame of life

[THE FAIRY QUEEN OF SWEET DREAMS & ENSEMBLE]
I shall craft this starlight

[ELLA]
Forgive or forget them
I will pardon
Those I am meant to

[THE FAIRY QUEEN OF SWEET DREAMS & ENSEMBLE]
I shall craft this starlight!

[ELLA]
Forgive or forget them
Am I broken?
Too late to avenge you

[ENSEMBLE]
I shall craft this starlight

[THE FAIRY QUEEN OF SWEET DREAMS & ELLA, ENSEMBLE]
Ash and ash and dust to dust (Ash and ash and dust to dust, Cinder Ella must, to the prince's ball we must)
And it all returns to whence it's from (I shall craft this starlight)
Hopes are dashed and dashed and dreams are lost(Ash and ash and dust to dust, Cinder Ella, trust to radiate her glow)
But the gods still know whose blood should run (I shall craft this starlight)

[COMPANY]
Ash to ash, dust to dust
Cinder Ella must
To the Prince's ball we go!

[THE NARRATOR]
Castle on a hill

[THE FAIRY QUEEN OF SWEET DREAMS & ENSEMBLE]
I shall craft this starlight

[COMPANY]
Ash to ash, dust to dust
Cinder Ella, trust
To radiate her glow

[THE FAIRY QUEEN OF SWEET DREAMS with ENSEMBLE]
Oh, I shall craft thee starlight!

[THE FAIRY QUEEN OF SWEET DREAMS]
I shall wrap thee in these cinders, Ell
And you shall be as radiant and terrible
As I

[THE NARRATOR]
Lady Ashmore danced
All alone at night
In the midst of wild
