i'm the queen's champion

[theresomewhere]

but all i do is ride in circles
round round that table

with chivalry alive
and me, dead inside.

the ladies love the armor
but can't say words for proper burial.

magic was to be my mistress
but my tongue is too ill-esteemed

to lady in the lake that kiss...

and a lousy queen I am.

this crown gets heavy on my head
my body weighed down my country rather than king.

I hold out hope for an alliance and heir, but sleep through tears I never knew I had.

don't cry

how could i blind you?

i would always look for the favour in your eyes

and thus i ride

wronging the rights

piece by piece

until i whereupon a naked grove

and without pause, give in
