Stolen Sapphire Blue
Legacy of your rule fills palaces and halls grand
Complete illusion from towers and spires
To the blood soaked ground
Hear the rattle of chains that once bound
Cathedral bells and choirs lift their angelic sound
A stolen sapphire, sapphire blue
Something for your crown when the world is troubling you
Clouds gather and it grows darker still
Rain falls upon an ancient marble window sill
Peasants, sailors, soldiers, just more grist for the mill
A mighty empire of canon and steal with the mission to break your will
A stolen sapphire, sapphire blue
Something for your crown when the world is troubling you
It seems perverse absurd, alas but not to you
Priceless or worthless depending on your mood or point of view
Push them to their knees and call them beggars weak
Take land traditions treasures that you crave and seek
Imprison bodies with laws and dungeons bleak
Though finery and gilding dazzle
Of the gallows and slavery you still wreak
A stolen sapphire, sapphire blue
Something for your crown when the world is troubling you
A stolen sapphire, oh so blue
Something for your crown when the world is troubling you
You can pretend that everything belongs to you
Your grabbing filthy hands that stain no matter what you do
Stolen sapphire so very blue
Something for when the world is troubling you
Complete illusion from towers and spires
To the blood soaked ground
Hear the rattle of chains that once bound
Cathedral bells and choirs lift their angelic sound
A stolen sapphire, sapphire blue
Something for your crown when the world is troubling you
Clouds gather and it grows darker still
Rain falls upon an ancient marble window sill
Peasants, sailors, soldiers, just more grist for the mill
A mighty empire of canon and steal with the mission to break your will
A stolen sapphire, sapphire blue
Something for your crown when the world is troubling you
It seems perverse absurd, alas but not to you
Priceless or worthless depending on your mood or point of view
Push them to their knees and call them beggars weak
Take land traditions treasures that you crave and seek
Imprison bodies with laws and dungeons bleak
Though finery and gilding dazzle
Of the gallows and slavery you still wreak
A stolen sapphire, sapphire blue
Something for your crown when the world is troubling you
A stolen sapphire, oh so blue
Something for your crown when the world is troubling you
You can pretend that everything belongs to you
Your grabbing filthy hands that stain no matter what you do
Stolen sapphire so very blue
Something for when the world is troubling you
