Dark-Eyed Prince - Danny Schmidt[00:00:00]

Once upon a time[00:00:15]

In a kingdom ill-defined[00:00:17]

A dark-eyed prince sat sideways[00:00:20]

On his throne[00:00:22]

And he cast aside the thoughts[00:00:26]

Of his princess long and lost[00:00:28]

And decided he'd live principally alone[00:00:31]

So he built himself a castle made[00:00:37]

Of stumbling blocks and bricks[00:00:40]

And he filled the mote[00:00:43]

With crocodile tears and other tricks[00:00:45]

But he forgot to build the doorway [00:00:48]

He forgot to build the gate[00:00:51]

So he had to build a catapult[00:00:54]

Just to knock the wall away[00:00:57]

And he'd venture out at night [00:01:12]

Bejeweled and erudite[00:01:15]

And he'd ride from town[00:01:18]

To town and farm to farm[00:01:20]

And he'd laugh at all the sheep[00:01:24]

And at the company they keep[00:01:27]

And he'd burn down[00:01:30]

All the churches and the barns[00:01:30]

Until he'd find a proper damsel [00:01:35]

Then he'd play the proper prince[00:01:38]

And he'd lead her home[00:01:41]

With apples and a promise on a stick[00:01:43]

Til she'd fall upon the pillow [00:01:46]

Then he'd fall upon the dawn[00:01:50]

And he'd close his eyes[00:01:53]

To hers and then just dream[00:01:54]

That she was gone[00:01:57]

So he swore upon the crown[00:02:11]

That he'd melt desire down[00:02:14]

And he boarded up[00:02:16]

His windows and his eyes[00:02:18]

But he still could hear the sound of[00:02:22]

The rain upon the ground[00:02:25]

And he still could feel[00:02:28]

His face against the sky[00:02:29]

And how the birds and how the bees [00:02:34]

They each took turns upon their knees[00:02:36]

And how the “Take me[00:02:40]

If you dare to”[00:02:41]

Turned to “Thank you if you please”[00:02:42]

And how the nectar in the flowers[00:02:45]

And how the flowers on the vine[00:02:49]

They'd turn his blood[00:02:51]

From fever into honey-juice and wine[00:02:53]

And he knew that it was true [00:03:10]

In the crumbs that nature threw[00:03:12]

And that ever-after always ends the tale[00:03:15]

And that somewhere in disguise there[00:03:21]

Was a girl with lantern eyes[00:03:24]

Who could fill[00:03:27]

The darkest shadows with detail[00:03:28]

So he'd build another tower[00:03:33]

Just to tear another down[00:03:36]

And he'd lay a trail of candles[00:03:38]

From his castle into town[00:03:41]

But if you go there please be careful [00:03:44]

And if you leave there please be quick[00:03:47]

Cause he'll rob your eyes of color[00:03:50]

And your bones to make more bricks[00:03:53]
