Songtext von The Mindsong

Alas right there and then The emperor's sleep came to an end "It's better to be alone", lie thought "I have wars to wage, battles to light Love always leads to pain and loss" But the maiden's song stuck in his mind "Emperor of Rome, You know I am real If you love me You'll come to me" He searched the lands And gave in to his dream His quest took him Over mountains and streams To the British islands he would roam Through the gates of a towering keep There sat an old king on an ivory throne And a maiden on a golden seat His open eyes had never seen A maiden more fair than She As he kneeled beside her gilded chair He softly sang into her ear "Empress of Rome, I knew you were real Let me love you Beyond my dreams"
