Meet The King [feat. Greta Salpeter and Nic Newsham]

So you're the boy I've heard so much about
From my daughter's open mouth
She's described for me wild fantasies
Of true love and ancient prophecies

Did you think you could waltz right in and steal
(The princess for yourself)
Seducing her with empty dreams and a rusting ring?
Well I'm the king, it won't be that easy

Father, you don't understand
I'm not after your throne or jewels
We can justify demands
Not looking for a crown or holiness
Father, don't you understand
I just want your daughter's heart, you fool
You can't hold onto my hand
'Cause I have found my man

Daughter, my dear, please open both your ears
There is something not right here
Well I can't place my finger on it
But this young man's filled with darkness

Did you think I'd just sit back and let this slide
(You are mistaken)
I will surely not give up without a fight
'Cause I'm the king, it won't be that easy

Father, you don't understand
I'm not after your throne or jewels
We can justify demands
Not looking for a crown or holiness
Father, don't you understand
I just want your daughter's heart, you fool
You can't hold onto my hand
'Cause I have found my man

Please sir, let me say something on my behalf
I love your daughter and she
Well she loves me back

All we have is love, my King, so let's sing la da da da
All we have is love, my King, so let's sing la da da da
All we have is love, my King, so let's sing la da da da
All we have is love, my King, let's sing

Denied by the king and his greed
The pair would indeed be married in secrecy
But before they had agreed when and where to meet
The princess felt queasy and weak, could barely speak

Adakias knew instantly why she was so green
And what had caused the disease
It was his proximity
She was ill from his company
Evil's ubiquity
You can't run from your history
Your past will seek you endlessly

He knew the only remedy to her viral malady
Resided and abided on the opposite side of the petrous levy
And its harsh, barbed, concrete peak

So while avoiding the leak of his true identity
Adakias convinced the princess of their leave
They would meet with a specialist and rid her blood of this
He kissed her on the lips and assured her a life-long lived
