The Two Kings
04:31
|
|||
|
Verse 1
The King was deep in character
Lamenting for a love betrayed
Happened upon him in this state
Man from foreign land afar
Dear sir no need those tears to cry
For now prescribe this remedy
Simply detach from happiness
Sorrow disappears likewise
Chorus
The King said "You don't understand,
And neither ask me who I am.
This is just a game we choose to play.
Still it serves us well today.
What say you?"
Verse 2
The man continues on his way
The King returns to character
Rejoicing now for battle won
Crying pain for ally lost
Lies wounded white upon the ground
Surrounded friend and foe unite
Alas poor Yorick, knew him well
'pon this scene the man returns
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3
The man imposes King with words
Dear sir your foolishness astounds
Must now awaken from this dream
Break out from your fantasy
The king places arm 'round the man
My friend, is this for you to choose?
Decide for me abandon now
Surely when/if up to me?
Instrumental
Repeat Chorus
Outro + spoken word
And the King then said to the man, I know you're a King also - from another land. And no less absorbed in a role play game. Just like me. This I can respect and accept, after all you are part and parcel of God, and expressing your relationship with God in the way of your choosing also. I'm sure our paths will cross again.

Verse 1
If you were your body
I guess it makes sense
To cover up old age by paint on face hair colour disguise
If you were your body
Reasonable yes
Arrange cryogenically freeze 'til they cure your disease
Chorus
But what if this body is not you
Is more or less outer dress you wear
Then how does your action plan stand up?
And what would you gain by hanging on
Long after your time is here and gone
Long after the game is lost and won?

If you were your body
I guess it makes sense
To identify I by kith and kin pigment colour in skin
If you were your body
Reasonable yes
Determine your best self interest D.N.A. to preserve

If you were your body

An egg on my face
Now look what you made me do
I'm losing the plot
Misplacing the keys
Forgetting my self
Now look what you made me do

Sometimes I see is not your fault
Believe my choice is up to me
I'm never victim bound by karma
Everything is plan of God
[Chorus v2]
The sun in my eyes
My foot in the shoe
Trod on a dog poo
Now look what you made me do
Believing a lie
Denying the true
Neck in a noose
Now look what you made me do

Sometimes I see is not my fault
And there's, surprise, no one to blame
And everything is meant to happen
Part of soul divine expression
[Chorus v3]
I'm shitting a brick
I'm pissing my pants
I'm running away
Now look what you made me do

Then come along some pretty face
Now look what you made me do

When you spoke you asked me "Is this for you?"
I felt choice always mine to choose
No question one should / should not do

Ideas and words here not my own
Represent only what now convinced true

My heart and mind made up they know stuff,
I today convey best I can understanding

I decided change direction
Pursue another path perfection
Now defer to uttama vision
Verse 5
I don't say I know no answer
Myself can't prove even on right track
Just is what I choose to believe true
Instrumental
Repeat Chorus
Spoken world
Which may of course be limited and filtered through my own appreciation and conditioning ... so perhaps I therefore sometimes emphasise in direction not intended by the original speaker, or cite something as relevant where the original speaker would have not thought so. Main thing is I am just a follower ... Yes, I can tell you about my following, but I'm not a leader, so please don't follow me!
