CROWN OF CYRUSS
i.
Priests and fools and magistrates all bowed before his grace
But all the kings of the world cannot outlive their fate
The bastard child of great King Cyruss was forced into the throne
When misfortune struck our peaceful land and the boy child was left alone
As dark clouds gathered in the sky
Abdicated and removed, the throne was left... bare
ii.
I did not ask for this
Crown upon my head
This burden I will not endure
Your needs remain unfed
Take this crown
I do not take this crown
I'll run into the woods
Make a world my own
I've heard tales of magic Men
Who have no need for thrones!
Take this crown
I do not take this crown
iii.
The magic Man
vi.
The magic Man has taught me much
I did not know before
I will commence my journey home
And reign forever more
Take this crown
I must embrace my crown
I was a fool for leaving you
To suffer all alone
I realize my destiny
To take this holy throne
Take this crown
Yes! This is my crown!
Take this crown
This crown!
