Queen's Daughter

 

bard

Come to me princess and heed what I say
Come closer to fire, I'll show thee the way
Fear me not child, I'm a wandering bard
I have something to tell thee about thy life
Someday you wilt see that thy childhood is gone
Reality will tear thee away from thy world
Illusions will die one after one
The world of thy sweet dreams will be turned inside out
And thou thyself shalt feel pain of betrayal
The loss of faith and ideals that failed
Thou shalt deny love to save children unborn
Remember my lesson once and forever more

princess

-How canst thou say so odious things
it cannot be sooth I believe not in this

bard

Believe not in God 'cos thou wilt not be saved
The church is disaster , the evil hath a name
Believe not in friendship thou wilt be betrayed
Believe not in tears all the world is a stage
Believe not in words the deception disguised
Never trust anyone whatever betide
Believe not in love for thou shalt be deceived
Be proud and never go down on thy knees

princess

-is there any pure in the world that we live?
Surely there is some I want to believe!

Bard

Life outside is full of deadly sins
The laws are for the weak who cannot resist
the insolence of the rich, the spurns in disgust
The pangs of despised love, the hopes turned to dust
The proud man's contumely, smile's ever so rare
The strongest is right, the weaker should bear
Thou wilt hear the oath to bring down the star
That shalt not believe this, it could not be love
They need just thy favor , thy power, thy crown
They will creep around thee like snakes with nay sound
Like dogs they will look at thee with truly eyes
But thou hast only to fall, only once
Before them to die and forgotten to be
To see own demise, eyes full of greed
the higher the more thou wilt find deceit out
To find the sooth thou hast to fall down

princess

-Why would I not search for the sooth in the books

bard

If thou really want to , I suggest that thou could'st
But the wise man is he, who hath realized
That he's insignificant under the skies
There are many things thou can'st not understand
Look not too far it canst bring thee the pain
Thou wilt lose the faith and the meaning of being
Asking thyself to be or no to be
Thou could'st deny the rules of the play
To die or to fall, but never to change

princess

-if everyone's liar who's living up there
should I be searching for true love elsewhere?
Could I for a while descend from above
to find my only one, my truly love?

Bard

They'll never accept it and thou shalt be damned
They'll curse thee and throw the dirt after thee
'tis better to be the outcast than to shine
and to be a subject of contempt disguised
Thou wilt be the outcast in thy own realm
But if thou art a star , thou shalt to shine for them

princess

-'tis better to live and keep the eyes closed
For never behold the whole smooth exposed

bard

of course it is easier than be an honest man
For aye to be lying according with them

princess

I won't ever lie!..

bard

..O nay! Thou wilt!

For thou art the princess and thou shalt be Queen
The acting is the only way for thee to be

princess

-I don't want to hear it, I'll take it nay more!
avaunt! And never come back anymore!

Bard

Behold!

Princess

Nay! Begone! Please let me alone!

Bard

I'm trying to save thee, 'tis for thy behoof

princess

-I have learned thy lesson. I don't believe you!

Bard

So run my princess away if thou can'st
To hide from the fears I spread in thyself
I've shown the nightmare, but nightmare that real
Go! run away and tremble with fear
'tis better to forget and never know why
wherefore thou fear, wherefore thou cry
I hope I'm mistaken and thou won't forget it
And in thy dreams my words would be remembered
