After the hunt, In the heat of the day, The Emperor rested From the gruelling chase
As he closed his eyes And gave in to his dreams His mind took him Over mountains and streams
To the fairest of islands ever known Through the gates of a mighty keep To an old king on an ivory throne And a maiden on a golden seat
His closed eyes had never seen A maiden more fair than She
As he kneeled beside her gilded chair She softly sang into his ear
"Emperor of Rome, You know I am real Let me love you Beyond your dream"
Alas right there and then The emperor's sleep came to an end
"It's better to be alone", he thought "I have wars to wage, battles to fight 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"Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
