Kings And Queens
( Hamilton / Kramer / Tyler / Whitford / J. Douglas )
It's been a long time comin'
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 afore
Somehow know now truths I must be sure
Tossin' turnin' nightmares burnin' dreams of swords in hand
Sailin' ships the Viking spits the blood of father's land
Only to deceive
Living times of knights and mares
Playin' dull for maidens fair
Raise up 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 then they died
Lordy lordy then they died
Live and no reply... they die
(Long ago were days I'm told...)
(Kings and queens and guillotines...)
Screams of no reply
Long ago were days I'm told...
Kings and queens and guillotines...
