1679, hall of Versailles

Louis the XIV is having a party

At this court of betrayers and liers

Wheel of fate's gonna turn anyway...

"Welcome to my home, again

Enjoy your time..."

And through the darkness

Candles, lighten the hall

Like thousands (of) dancers

Reflecting on the walls...

"Let's start the dances

No one shall stand tall..."

Midnight time, in the hall of Versailles

Greatest pleasure: a present for Louis

It's a gift from the ruler of Venice

"... Just a portrait, my daughter in it"

In a beating of the heart

The king fell in love

And through the candles

Louis starts dreamin' on...

Dramatic fancy:

The king has fallen in love!

Oh, Kathryn, through the candles

I can see your face...

Oh, can't you see?

My heart is bleeding, screaming for you...

For love or lust

True fell or passion, who knows?

And through the candles

Louis starts dreamin' on...

The king is calling

Who will dare to deny?
