Music & lyrics by Zeph E Daniel

In the castle where shadows creep Queen Erica sits

Her secrets deep

Her crown’s a mirror

Cracked and sly

Reflecting power built on a lie

Whispers slither through the hall

Gold and greed

They rot it all

Oh Queen Erica

Your court’s a play

Masked in jewels

But hearts decay

The throne is high

The truth is low

How long till your kingdom overflows

The jester laughs

But not with glee

His jokes are chains

His soul’s not free

Knights bow down with hollow pride

Their swords defend what’s dead inside

The banquet’s rich

The wine is red

But poison lingers where it’s fed

A feast of lies

A toast of sin

The court is drowning from within

Oh Queen Erica

Your court’s a play

Masked in jewels

But hearts decay

The throne is high

The truth is low

How long till your kingdom overflows
