Emperor Worm

And so she woke up from a dream

that was beautiful and starry and oh so wild

it was all still clear in her eyes

and though her mind was foggy and blank

she wondered why

her life couldn't be as lovely it was time

there was this king he had a castle or throne

but his horse was great and white

he rode alone and liked it that way

but when he met her he swore

he would never leave her side

they road across the land two lovers hand in hand

and no danger would come near

and when somthing made her cry

she'd look at him teary eyed

and he would make her feel better

so much better so much better than before

and now this forest was his home

it was a night time and the right time for love in the dark

she placed her hand upon her chest

and all the rest just flowed

makin' love down under an ancient far away night

it was so grand just holding someone's hand

and now safety came naturally

it was so clear that she would never have to fear

oh tell me a story of magic and spiralling ships

and the stars in the night

just whisper in my ears make it soft make it clear

I want to hear every breath you say

she placed her hand upon her breast

but she woke up from the land tears falling in her hands

as she looked up asking why

she laid back in her bed thoughts rising in her head

why can't my life be beautiful she said

as she closed her eyes again

just prayin' he'd return

but only darkness fell upon her
