Lyrics
The Prince of Knight
The Prince of Night meets the Queen of Light
Only in her dreams
He cannot fulfill his love
Without hurting or so it seems
Upon twilight he reappears
To whisper in her dreamy ears
Sing songs of love and yesteryears
To wash away the sorrow
"What makes this a dream or otherwise"
She asks this while she's sleeping and he quietly replies
“Tomorrow when you rise my dear
You'll know this was a dream
For I won't walk beside you there
And now I fear it's time to leave”
The Prince of Night meets the Queen of Light
To tell of tales gone by
She wishes he had kept his soul
And never questioned why
He's been down for far too long
He sings it in his every song
In hopes that soon he will belong
And wash away the sorrow
“Please don't ask me or entrap me
With your loving hands
I must run before the love of the sun
Brings light to who I am”
