Scullery Girls

Marble halls go quiet when the daylight fades, Lace and whispered politics in gilded masquerades. Elbows deep in silver till the moonlight gleams, Polishing tomorrow while we sharpen bigger dreams. Aprons tied like armor, black-and-white brigade, Stories in our braided hair that time could never fade. Footsteps overhead like thunder in the rafters, But down below we’re louder, brighter, faster. Pre-Chorus Soap burns in the cuts, fire in the veins, Still we carry beauty through the chaos and the strain. We keep the whole damn kingdom steady at the seams, Invisible queens learning how to lead our dreams. Chorus We’re the queens beneath the stairs! Dust on our boots and lightning in our hair! Singing in the kitchens while the whole world sleeps, Scullery maids with promises to keep. Silver trays and secret songs, We’ve been holding up this house all along. When the chandeliers shake and the cold winds rise, It’s the scullery girls still standing through the night. --- Verse 2 Cook is calling orders, bells are burning red, Steam like dragon’s breath rolling through the bread. Stealing little moments while the cakes cool down, Dreaming of horizons far beyond this town. One girl wants the ocean, one girl wants the stage, One keeps fearless poetry folded in the page. Blisters on our fingers, stars behind our eyes, Every drop of sweat becomes another way we rise. --- Bridge (half-time, huge build) And when these old walls finally turn to dust, We’ll still be dancing because they were built by us. No crowns, no permission, no velvet charade — Just fearless hearts and the futures we made. --- Guitar Solo – Satriani Style (Keep exactly what you wrote here — it’s honestly excellent. The emotional arc already fits the empowerment angle perfectly.) --- Final Chorus We’re the queens beneath the stairs! Steel in our hands and storms in our prayers! Turning every silence into harmony, Scullery maids writing our own history! Silver trays and battle songs, We were always stronger than they knew all along! When the candles fade and the night runs deep, It’s the scullery girls the whole world will remember. --- Outro Scullery girls… The whole world will remember…
