lyrics

She’s never seen blue like his eyes
He sings her stories, she complies
She’ll never love again like this
To him her bond is true
He takes the chances, she dissolves
He is the one now, she resolves
Each one takes his place
Becomes the star to live up to

They were kings and they were masters
They were heroes in disaster
And their chariot will take your heart away
They were courage facing danger
To defeat and fear were strangers
And where reason goes the noble passions stay

President and firm behind the chair
World seems to be kinder in his stare
He flowers under pressure
Grows in stature in her view
His passion nourishes her flame
It’s only him now, she exclaims
He gathers younger flowers
Worships, celebrates the new

They were kings and they were masters…

They sing, they play the parts, they shine
And other men to them incline
Walk into the room and then
Control how others feel
Who’ll be the consort to the king
Who wants the peace below the wings
The easy heights afforded
To the animal appeal
