The Promise (From "Treason: The Musical")

I woke up today thinking
This would be another boring day to be king
Then this guy walks in

Mmm, his face is quite nice
He needs my advice
I think I might have to give it to him, and the advice
Two, three, four

So, what do you want?
Don't make me beg
Don't make me plead
We all have needs
Even a man like me
Just open it up and read to me
Every single word
If you've got something to say
Then take it away

Has the cat got his tongue; I'm wondering?
Is he highly strung or something?
If he spoils my fun, that's one thing I won't take
But I can make you break

So, tell me your heart's desire
Inside you I can see there's fire
If you don't ask, you don't get
If you don't talk, I could have your neck

So, what do you want?
Don't make me beg
Don't make me plead
We all have needs
Even a man like me
Just open it up and read to me
Every single word
I want to hear it from you
All this conversation is through

I'm writing to you on behalf of the Catholic nobility of England
We need reassurance you'll be on our side
For years we have suffered at the hands of Elizabeth
But she grows weak
She's past her peak

You are in line to take her place
Should she demise and die
If you can pledge your full support
We could be a powerful ally
You could be our saviour
You could save England

I could be the saviour
Ahh, the saviour of England

I will be a fair king
There will be a place for everyone
There will be a place for you
I will bridge what divides us
Protestants and Catholics together as it should be
No, as it will be
When I am king
When I am king
