KINGS AND QUEENS

Long ago in days untold 
Were ruled by lords of greed 
Maidens fared with gold they dared 
To bare their wombs that bleed 
Kings and queens and guillotines 
Taking lives denied
Starch and parchment laid the laws 
When bishops took the ride 
Only to deceive 

Oh I know I lived this life afore 
Somehow I know now truths I must be sure
Tossin', turnin', nightmares burnin' 
Dreams of swords in hand 
Sailing ships, the Viking spits 
The blood of father's land 
Only to deceive 

Living times of knights and mares 
Raising swords for maidens fair 
Sneer at death, fear only loss of pride 
Living other centuries 
Deja vu or what you please 
Follows true to all who do or die 

Screams of no reply 
They died 
Screams of no reply 
And died 
Died 
Lordy, lordy, they died
