about

I had a chance to do some recording with Mike James. A great singer-songwriter. He had one request, would I include a line about being king.

lyrics

I am the king
Bring me your lofty dreams
Set them here and we will ponder these.
I am the king give me tribute
On this altar of broken dreams
It was a nightmare from which you'll never wake
Altar of pain and broken dreams
Oh give me please your children that never cry or scream
I am the king you are my knave
Joker of pain and hopeless dreams
I had a dream in someone else's bed is it you or is it me
It was a nightmare I couldn't scream
Was it you or was it me
All of these broken dreams
Like so many dead birds on this terminal beach
I am the king pay me tribute
On this altar of broken dreams x2
