"King For A Day"

"KING FOR A DAY"

All of the people that I see are trying to get higher,
But none of them can avoid setting their souls on fire.
All of their lives are being ruled by one thing: it's fear.
They're like me, none of them wanna disappear.

(Fear, Anger, Pain, Disillusion!)
     I don't wanna be king for a day!
     I don't wanna be king for a day!
     I don't wanna be king for a day!
     You can't make be king for a day!

It doesn't matter what the color of the skin you see,
Look deep into a person's heart, that's all that matters to me.
Take a look at the world, you'll see it's all around.
It's time to take a stand and beat the Demon Discrimination down!

(Fear, Anger, Pain, Disillusion!)
     I don't wanna be king for a day!
     I don't wanna be king for a day!
     I don't wanna be king for a day!
     You can't make be king for a day!
(Fear!)
     I don't wanna be king for a day!
     I don't wanna be king for a day!
(Disillusion!)
     I don't wanna be king for a day!
     You can't make me be king for a day!

It's time to be strong
And make your stand.
It's time to learn right from wrong
And hold the power in your hand.
You've got to know that it's wrong.

Make the time to do what's right.
Believe in your heart.  Believe in your mind.
You've got the vision in sight
And the cure you shall find.
It's time to stand and beat the demon down.

King for a day!


"HAND OF A LADY"

Have you ever done anything for love,
Feeling like you were being driven from above?
Have you done something you wouldn't normally do,
Just so that her eyes wouldn't be blue?

Have you ever ridden on a mighty Crusade,
To defend the Queen with your blade?
Or walked beside her donned in armor,
To reach up in the night sky and grab a star?

     There are times when you don't know what to think,
     At any moment you'll be driven over the brink.
     But she held your hand and just simply smiled,
     That feeling calms you far a little while.
     You entrust unto her your heart and your life,
     Knowing that you'll be forever by her side.
     You'll do anything that it takes
     For the hand of a lady!

Have you ever taken her for a walk at night,
And held her silently until the morning light?
Have you ever been there for her when she screams,
To hold her tight and protect her from her dreams?

     I am forever your Knight, my Love.
     I proclaim my devotion to the Heavens above.
     I am forever your Knight,  'till the end,
     You and your honor I shall defend.

Have you ever slain a Dragon with your sword,
To free the Queen locked behind the dungeon's door?
Or stood valiantly by her side, shield in hand,
To fight for her honor and help make her stand?

     There are times when you don't know what to think,
     At any moment you'll be driven over the brink.
     But she held your hand and just simply smiled,
     That feeling calms you far a little while.
     You entrust unto her your heart and your life,
     Knowing that you'll be forever by her side.
     You'll do anything that it takes
     For the hand of a lady!


"DARKNESS CALLS"

Tonight I wonder.
Still in life there's much to learn.
That fire can be cold
And sunlight it can burn.

Tonight I'm on a quest,
Out here on this lonely road:
To serve and do my best,
Keeping safe treasures of gold

     The darkness calls out my name
     And I don't seem the same.
     A Black Knight who protects his Queen,
     With only the moon knowing what I mean.

     The darkness calls out my name
     And I don't seem the same.
     A Black Knight who protects his Queen,
     With only the moon knowing what I mean.

Traveling the night an my Steed,
Moving silently among the shadows,
Through light only when I need.
Eluding anyone who follows.

With my glistening blade in hand,
I stand forever strong and still,
Protecting my Queen and her lands,
Sticking to my Codes with an iron will.

     The darkness calls out my name
     And I don't seem the same.
     A Black Knight who protects his Queen,
     With only the moon knowing what I mean.

"MEDIEVAL PROMISE"

The first time that I saw you,
I knew you were the one.
Now and forever, my Lady,
All I need is your touch.

You know that I'm lonely,
My life is so incomplete.
My nights are sleepless
And I end up walking the streets.

I'll never leave you.
You know my words are true.
So please tell me, my Lady,
Before the night is through.

     I promise to always be there
     Whether you laugh or cry,
     And when I make that promise,
     That promise is  'till I die.

The first time that I saw you
I knew you were the one.
Now and forever, my Lady,
All I need is your love.

You flashed a smile
That melted my heart,
And when we kissed,
I never wanted to part.

     I promise to always be there
     Whether you laugh or cry,
     And when I make that promise,
     That promise is  'till I die.

     I'll never break that promise,
     Even if we should part.
     For a promise is forever
     When it comes from my heart.

"RUSSIAN ROULETTE"

Don't you know where to go
When the sun has set?
The empty skies cry your name,
A feeling you can't forget.

The pale horse rides in
As though it was your time.
But every time you lose a friend,
It's like playing Russian Roulette!

My world is empty now,
I'm the only one who survived.
I cry out for my friends,
But no one is alive.

Why can't I feel their pain?
What have I done to them?

Please, can you tell me
Why I feel this way?
I don't know what to say.
Of the ones who started this dream,
Now there's only me.
'Cause every time you lose a friend,
It's like playing Russian Roulette.

     Playing Russian Roulette.
     Don't ever play Russian Roulette!

Help me, I've got to learn
How to survive.
I've got to learn to live again
And keep this dream alive.
I know it's not an easy task,
But soon I will know.
'Cause every time you lose a friend,
It's like playing Russian Roulette.

     Playing Russian Roulette.
     Don't ever play Russian Roulette!
