The Mindsong by Suidakra
Alas right there and then
The emperor's sleep came to an end
"It's better to be alone", lie thought
"I have wars to wage, battles to light
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"
