I saw a fair young maiden
Abandoned in her bed-
Tearful for the one she loved
The one she chose to wed-
That in a weakened moment tread-
Out to the mountain ledge-
Enticed by the knight in black-
That brought him to the edge-

Come fly with me-
The black knight said-
To a land of pure euphoria-
And let me show you -
All the wondrous things-
That I can lie before you-

No more pain-
And no more strife-
Just endless days
 And endless nights
Of wine and song and dance-

Come my prince-
Come fly with me-
Why not take a chance-
Forget your wife-
Come live your life-
It’s time for new romance-

A tiny pill-
Is all it takes-
A sniff of fine white powder-
Will get you high-
So you can fly-
Up to the magic tower-

So the prince he ate
The tiny pills-
And sniffed
The fine white powder-
And soon he was addicted-
To the magic of their powers-

Away he flew-
Up to the moon-
Beyond the Milky Way-
Where stars came out-
And winked at him- 
And beckoned him to play-

Each day he ate
The tiny pills- 
And sniffed
The fine white powder-
But every day
He needed more-
As they slowly lost their power-

And soon he couldn’t
Fly as high-
And that
Was a scary thing-
For there were more
And more
Feathers-
Missing-
From his wings-

Then one day-
While he was high-
Reaching
For his dreams-
He felt the power-
Leaving him-
And he began to scream-

Down and down
And down he fell-
Crashing
To the ground-
Lost dreams
And broken promises- 
Lying
All around-

And like a wounded bird-
With broken wings
That cease to flutter-
The truth rained down
Upon his head-
As he floundered
In the gutter-

Oh what a crazy
Fool he’d been-
Blinded
By the knight-
Could he ever
Win her back-
And make the wrongs 
All right-

He cried and cried
Into the night-
Regrets-
Were his companions-
Until he heard
The sound of hooves-
Rumbling-
Through the canyon-
