Songtext von The Emperor's Wives

Deep, dark forest kingdom Under banyan covered skies Lived a king with untold riches; Jewels, gold, and two fair wives. Both had hair as black as midnight, Coal-black eyes that sparkled bright, Terra-cotta skin as smooth as bronze And tender movements like a sprite. Every night he indulged his fantasies Enjoyed his wives and went to sleep As he slept his wives kept secrets Holding hands under the sheets. Each dark day in this ancient palace The Emperor sat on his thrown of gold, while his young wives explored bright gardens. Eye met eyes and hands did hold. One hot night in the dead of summer, the emperor's wife say a look of love on her lovers face - toward their husband. Fires burned jealous, she lost her love. On hot night in the dead of summer, the Emporer's wife stold a magi's blade and crept into her lovers chamber and as they slept her lovers slayed. .
