When I Was King

Living in the twilight of yesterday Wistfully longing for a return To reap the glory I once shared For a destiny's child I was born Then I grew up to be a king Then on my throne I would sing When I was the king I thought of heavenly things I visited the moon and resided in mars Sailed the ocean with paddlers wings Fought many battles, won many wars On a white horse I would ride Even got baptized in the river Nile When I was king When I was King The bells would toll What great tidings that would bring? All would gather, young and old To pay homage to their king On char grilled venison they would feast And drink the nectar of the brewers yeast When I was king When I was king My queen would reign In glorious harmony with the king Just like the liver's hepatic veins In tuneful melodies we would sing And I in gleeful wedded bliss Showered her with love,sealed with a kiss When I was king Now I am old and my reign is done I recline in the glory of yesteryears I reminisce of my past years gone And patiently await the grim reaper's shears While I bask in the happiness , the joys I sing The memories, the times. when I was king.
