Lay of the Fey King
[1]
The tale I am to tell is known to all
Though only those who lived it know its toll
This world was new, our song had just begun
Yet, all too soon, the concert came undone
A King provoked a Queen; a mortal slight
It took a thousand years to make it right
Our dance went one step forward, two steps back
It wasn't long 'till both of us lost track
[Chorus]
Ill met by ~moon~light, proud Titania
It truly ~breaks~ my heart
to ~see~ us come this far
I'm tired of ~keep~ing score;
If ~on~ly ~for~ a ~mo~ment more
Together may we ~stand~ beneath the stars
[2]
It's been a thousand years and a day
Yet what was said and done, is here to stay
For King and Queen alike, a dreadful sight:
The children of our children, locked in fight
At last we reach the point of no return
My walls are breached, my holy city burns
My banner colors run in blood and tears
I knew this night was coming, all these years
[Chorus]
Ill met by ~moon~light, proud Titania
It truly ~breaks~ my heart
to ~see~ us come this far
I'm tired of ~keep~ing score;
If ~on~ly ~for~ a ~mo~ment more
Together may we ~stand~ beneath the stars
[3]
Upon the end of centuries of strife
You march into the ruins of my life
And as we face off on the board tonight
There cannot be a Queen who shines more bright
As King, I will accept your cruel decree
The final move to set each other free
This blood feud of ours must end for good
I would not stop you, even if I could
[Chorus]
Ill met by ~moon~light, proud Titania
It truly ~breaks~ my heart
to ~see~ us come this far
I'm tired of ~keep~ing score;
If ~on~ly ~for~ a ~mo~ment more
Together may we ~stand~ beneath the stars
[Instrumental]
[Spoken]
Tomorrow, when our children sing our song
I hope they will not judge us right or wrong
May all that kept us fighting from the start
remain between your dagger and my heart
[Closing Chorus]
Farewell for~e~ver, proud Titania
There's ~so~ much to our tale
this ~world~ may never know
You ~will~ not ~see~ me shake;
My ~fi~nal ~breath~ is ~yours~ to take
Deliver it from my ~lips~ and let it go
