Then spoke the King

"Any earthly thing

To see you dancing"

How could I stop

Those words from rising

Like flames on my tongue

(Though not holy ones)

If God himself could not?

There's a man

There's a man

And he will not love me

Like all the others long to

So bring me his head

Upon a silver platter

And with his eyes

Still wide

He'll watch me dancing

And I'll be dancing for him

At night I dream

He pours cool water

Into my mouth

The veils turn water

Then he'll rise golden...

There's a man

There's a man

He was the only one I ever wanted

So bring me to bed

And they'll applaud my death

For who will pray

For my soul now to rise?
