queen of lilies - ken theriot lyrics

Loading...

all morning we rode through a world grey with rain
that covered the tears that men shed for a queen;
for she was as fair as the moonlight on lilies
her birthright was laughter, and loving, and living
and evil the fortune that left her that day
with nothing but dreamers, and lilies, and rain

she smiled at me once as she cantered by
i remember here now through the mists of the rain
and then, in this moment, give thanks for the day
that brought me to serve such a glorious queen;
and i laud the gods that have let me keep living
in the mud of a world that still can grow lilies

far above roses, i’ll always love lilies**
pale, tall, and proud, they are often passed by
for flowers more suited to our way of living
but sometimes in springtime, and sometimes in rain
the heart has a need for a goddess, or queen
and such was the need that i felt on that day
i left home and followed, as night follows day

followed the flag of my lady of lilies
and rode into war at the side of my queen
the people came out to watch us go by;
we waved, and they cheered, and what is the rain
to an army of dreamers grown weary of living?

but mostly the world is made up of living
for more than an instant, an hour, a day
be it ever so full of sunshine or rain
and it’s hard to remember a loyalty to lilies—
hard to remember, when she’s passed on by
the face and the fate of a fortuneless queen

they say she was d*mned, or else mad, our queen;
but she gave us grace with her loving and living
and never have angels been closer to men
or ridden to war as they did on that day—
she led us to battle, in april, in rain
laughing and singing and crowned all in lilies

one last homage to our queen now, at break of day;
we betray her by living. let us bring her lilies
and silent, pass her by, and leave her to the rain
