Jester's Queen Lyrics

Golden crown, velvet throne
Never felt so far from home
Painted smile, broken soul
You're the reason I've lost control

I'm the fool behind the mask
You're the dream I shouldn't have
And when your eyes meet mine
All the kings fade into black

So tell me why your gaze stays on me
When the room is full of kings?
And tell me why your fingers shake
Every time our shadows meet

You're a queen, you're a queen
And I'm just the jester in your dreams
I would burn the whole kingdom down
Just to keep you next to me

You're a queen, you're a queen
They say we're something we can't be
But I'd kneel before your throne forever
If you'd only choose me

Ooooh
If you'd only choose me

Ooooh
I'd destroy the world for you, my queen

Through the palace late at night
Just to catch you out of sight
Every second leaves me weak
You're the poison that I seek

They say your heart belongs to kings
To golden crowns and diamond rings
But when you whisper out my name
Heaven and hell burst into flames

And I know that if they found out
They'd hang me in the square
Still I'd risk a thousand deaths
For a moment by your side

You're a queen, you're a queen
And I'm just the jester in your dreams
I would burn the whole kingdom down
Just to keep you next to me

You're a queen, you're a queen
They say we're something we can't be
But I'd kneel before your throne forever
If you'd only choose me

Ooooh
If you'd only choose me

Ooooh
I'd destroy the world for you, my queen

Let them call me foolish
Let them call me insane
I was never afraid of dying
Only living without your name

And if they build a wall between us
I'll tear it apart with my hands
I'd rather be your condemned lover
Than another forgotten man

You're a queen, you're a queen
And I'm still drowning in between
What they want and what we are
And all the things they'll never see

You're a queen, you're a queen
And I'd become your worst sin
Just to feel your lips on mine
Before the kingdom closes in

Ooooh
If you'd only choose me

Ooooh
I'd destroy the world for you, my queen

So I'll wait behind the curtains
Where the lonely jesters stay
Watching my forbidden angel
Slowly drift away

Still I'd smile for the kingdom
While my heart breaks quietly

Because the queen belongs to everyone...
