meet the king lyrics

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 that 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
You can't justify demands
Not looking for a crown or a holy rule

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

If you think I'll just sit back and let this slide
(Then 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
You can't justify demands
Not looking for a crown or a holy rule

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
So 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 levee
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
