A Lesson Perhaps - Kaleidoscope[00:00:00]
Written by:Eddie Pumer/Peter James Daltrey[00:00:00]
The early morning castle stirred[00:00:01]
The king of the forest stared vacantly[00:00:06]
Toward the east[00:00:09]
His bloodshot eyes caught no reasoning[00:00:11]
A lazy fly landed on his suit of velvet[00:00:15]
And he cursed the creation[00:00:19]
Like an unwanted shadow[00:00:24]
The queen of conscience entered the already broken morning[00:00:26]
She spoke eat my master[00:00:30]
The king moved to a coffin corner[00:00:34]
Where another lazy fly contemplated the dust of time[00:00:36]
Bring me a kingdom and I will eat[00:00:43]
His voice disturbed the dust and the fly[00:00:45]
I am without power to bring you power[00:00:49]
The queen sighed like an autumn breeze[00:00:52]
Then I will not eat[00:00:57]
The king moved to his guilty throne[00:01:01]
And seated himself among his ancestors[00:01:03]
My king[00:01:07]
If you want a kingdom and power[00:01:08]
If you want money and love if you want respect and admiration[00:01:10]
Then you must go out and take it[00:01:13]
The king stared vacantly to the east[00:01:18]
And a dozen flies waiting in the dust stared back[00:01:20]
I am the king it is not my part to capture and claim[00:01:26]
It is my people's duty[00:01:29]
The queen cried and the little crystal tears tickled her cheeks[00:01:30]
She brushed them away angrily[00:01:38]
You have no people and while you remain the ghost of the past[00:01:40]
You will never have people or a kingdom[00:01:44]
She ran from the pathetic chamber[00:01:46]
A fly left with him[00:01:49]
The king breathed and though deeply[00:01:52]
I will have people he said nervously to his conscience[00:01:56]
I will have people[00:02:00]
The king of the forest never rose again from his guilty throne[00:02:20]
And the dust and the lazy flies lived on him[00:02:26]
And the king lived on his dreams[00:02:31]
And died on them[00:02:35]
