The Essential 'Shot

"These are the contents of my head"

Kings and Queens

Friday, February 26, 2010

Long ago in days I'm told
Were ruled by Lords of greed
Maidens fared with gold
They dared to bare their wombs that bleed


Kings and queens and guillotines
Taking lives denied
Starch and parchment laid the laws
When bishops took the ride
Only to deceive


Oh I know I lived this life a'fore
Somehow know now truths I must be sure
Tossing turning, nightmares burning, dreams of swords in hand
Sailing ships the Viking spits the blood of father's land
Only to deceive


Living times of knights and mares
Raising swords for maidens fair
Sneer at death, fear only loss of pride


Living other centuries
Deja vu or what you please
Follows true to all who do or die

Screams of no reply they died
Screams of no reply and died
Lordy lordy and then then they died
Lordy no then they died

Live and do or die
Long ago were days I told...Lord they died
Kings and queens and guillotines...
Live and no reply they died
Long ago were days I told...
Kings and queens and guillotines...
