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.
