Nefertiti claimed she needed no one at all
|
Majestic in her empire like so many I've seen rise and fall
|
Suitors by the dozen, even one who'd give her everything
|
Assuming the queen even needs a king
|
And what's so wrong with freedom?
|
Is there a cost too high?
|
But the slogans turn to mist in Nefertiti's eyes
|
|
And the heart of the lioness
|
Lay down gentle like a lamb
|
Her Majesty runs like a girl
|
No composure or command
|
And I know I should be glad for her
|
But I can't forget her fire
|
It just makes me lonely
|
One more goddess to retire
|
|
Now I have been brought down by less
|
That felled my mighty lioness
|
But what I see which makes me sad
|
Is when the loneliness gets bad
|
She has to run, she cannot take
|
That fragile fundamental ache
|
|
And the heart of the lioness
|
Lay down gentle like a lamb
|
Her Majesty runs like a girl
|
No composure or command
|
And I know I should be glad for her
|
But I can't forget her fire
|
It just makes me lonely
|
One more goddess to retire
|
|
Amazed she puts me in my place
|
A royal tear rolls down her face
|
But what for me may hurt worst of all
|
Is one less soldier on the wall
|
That much lonelier for me
|
As I salute my fallen queen
|
|
And the heart of the lioness
|
Lay down gentle like a lamb
|
Her Majesty runs like a girl
|
No composure or command
|
And I know I should be glad for her
|
But I can't forget her fire
|
It just makes me lonely
|
One more goddess to retire
|
No one should be glad for her
|
For I can't forget her fire
|
It just makes me lonely
|
One more goddess to retire
|
|
Nefertiti claimed she needed no one
