Music & lyrics by Zeph E Daniel
In the castle where shadows creep Queen Erica sits
Her secrets deep
Her crown’s a mirror
Cracked and sly
Reflecting power built on a lie
Whispers slither through the hall
Gold and greed
They rot it all
Oh Queen Erica
Your court’s a play
Masked in jewels
But hearts decay
The throne is high
The truth is low
How long till your kingdom overflows
The jester laughs
But not with glee
His jokes are chains
His soul’s not free
Knights bow down with hollow pride
Their swords defend what’s dead inside
The banquet’s rich
The wine is red
But poison lingers where it’s fed
A feast of lies
A toast of sin
The court is drowning from within
Oh Queen Erica
Your court’s a play
Masked in jewels
But hearts decay
The throne is high
The truth is low
How long till your kingdom overflows
