Purple and gold room
Lilies and orchids bloom for no one
No one
Cold as the pale moon
Still as a vacant tomb
Truth is, there’s someone
Someone
Frozen to the bone
Silent on his throne
The emperor is turning to stone…
Scepter and staff are gone
Forest and fields stretch on
Belonging to no one
No one
Dawn is a phantom scene
Gone like his precious queen
Glowing for no one
No one
Frozen to the bone
Silent on his throne
The emperor is turning to…
Someone no one expected
Weighed down by the crown he selected
Senseless
Best left deaf, dumb, numb to the hurt
Frozen to the bone
Silent on his throne
Frozen to the bone
Silent on his throne
The emperor is turning to stone
