~ Sun King ~

He calls himself the Sun King, he thinks he's a regal man
Says he's searching for a queen to take to the promised land
He'll offer you his hand, says with you he'll share his throne
He'll say you are the only one and he can't make it on his own

He'll walk you down his beaten path, He'll captivate your heart
He'll compliment your beauty, He'll say you're funny and smart
He'll speak of feelings he's held back, his desire for you strong
And if you believe you're really the one, my dear you are so wrong

This journey to his kingdom holds a path that's truly worn
By the many feet that have traveled it to sit upon his throne
His voice of liquid magic, coaxed many to travel by his side
To walk all through his kingdom, as they longed to be his bride
 

But he seeks no queen, no lover, to sit there by his side
For there's one who truly holds his heart, from her he cannot hide
She knows him deep inside, the blackness of his soul
The falseness of the words he speaks, his desire for control
 

He promised her he'd share his throne, she too walked down this path
But she reached inside and stole his heart, for that she felt his wrath
He abandoned her along the way, withdrew his warming rays
Left her there alone and cold, Fear made him run away
 

She awakened in him feelings, he was lost in his own game
and tho he tries to deny her, his heart still speaks her name
No one else can take him to the place she took him to
and as he moves on with his game, to her his love is true
 

So if you choose to walk this path, To you let me say this
There is no throne awaiting you, No life of heavens bliss
For the sun gives way to darkness, his heat he cannot hold
Not even for that one he loves, he's doomed to rule alone
