Broken Crowns
There she sits high on her throne
the most beautifil creature in the world
she's the queen and she damn well knows it
i used tyo be her king, but now i'm just the jester
I bowed down before her and kissed her feet
I worshipped the ground she walked on
then one day she built her castle walls too high
I couldn't climb high enough
surely must I fall, I won't get back up
she knows how to take her king
and make him into a peasent
she sure knows how to take her prince
and turn him into a frog
she's just a snake slithering in the grass
how i was a fool for loving her
she, too, is a jilted lover
the kings before me, lay waste to her heart
put her emotions into the iron maiden
the men who lay with her before me
didn't deserve to share her bed
these men got away with murder
they were just sent on their way
but my crime was met with severe punishment
I loved herI'd give her the Earth, I cared for her
I begged and I begged, I loved and I loved
there's no place in her cold kingdom
for a street begger like the one she made me
she built my gallows high, she cried in laughter
as the noose fell
no, I'm not dead, just lingering around
I'm building up my strength
one day the king will return
exile the beautiful but evil witch
then the spell will be broken
the king will rise again
to claim a fair maiden as his queen
there'l come a time when you'll I'm right
and, oh beautiful queen witch
I'll point and cry in laughter
as you kneel in the rain
with a doomed look on your face.
