Name: The Queen
Duration: P00H05M52S
Description: First posting on this one. Better pack a lunch, this demo is over five minutes long. Apparently the Angels love their "men in tights" songs. Just a throwaway Harpsichord solo ... not really sure what to keep at this point. Not even sure where it would fit ... I've lived that life but that was a long time ago. I barely write in that style at all since I misplaced my quill pen.

lyrics

I am wise
Many roads I’ve travelled
To get here I’ve crossed deserts
Sailed the Northern Sea
An urgent message found its way to me
So I’m here to bend my knee before the Queen

All here - we are all as one - ah ah
All here - we are all as one - ah ah

I will fight
Ring my sword in battle
None shall pierce my armour
Or harm my trusty steed
I wanted freedom - it was not to be
So I’ve come to bend my knee before the Queen

I am here to see the Queen
With my shield and my sword
I am here - I am here to see the Queen
Such a weary soul but I’m ready to do battle
And I’m here to pledge allegiance to my Queen

All here - we are all as one - ah ah
All here - we are all as one - ah ah

Watch the dead
Float on barges down the river
Stacked like cordwood
Staircase to the stars
I’m not the kind who can just let it be
So I’m here to bend my knee before the Queen

I am here to see the Queen
With my shield and my sword
I am here - I am here to see the Queen
Such a weary soul but I’m ready to do battle
And I’m here to pledge allegiance to my Queen

I am here to see the Queen
With my shield and my sword
I am here - I am here to see the Queen
Such a weary soul but I’m ready to do battle
And I’m here to pledge allegiance to my Queen

All here - we are all as one - ah ah - here to pledge allegiance to my Queen
All here - we are all as one - ah ah - yes, I’m here to pledge allegiance to my Queen
All here - we are all as one - ah ah - oh I’m here to pledge allegiance to my Queen
All here - we are all as one - ah ah - oh I’m here to pledge allegiance to my Queen

All here - WE ARE ALL AS ONE -
