King Of Aragon Lyrics

Morning , the pale light embraced his face His thoughts slowly returned from a dreams confusing maze He saw himself holding a scale it was trembling in his hand at one end was his kingdom , at the other a lonley man Confused , betrayed by friends Pleading justice , must break or bend Some priests had formed a vicious plan to convert all the jewes a rabbi were to defending faith persecution needs excuse He met a man with integrity , different from anyone he knew It seemed so absurd to punish him for the crime of being a jew they talked until the daybreak so much seemed to make sence How could religion be a capital offence He gave him the right to defend his faith But he couldn´t sense that he was safe The priests wasn´t intrested in truth that you could measure they gave their orders to the king and kept him under pressure The queen of Aragon , once so young and full of life now she´s turning colder for every day that she´s been his wife Her new lovers name is power and her passion is to manipulate She tries to keep her sanity by holding on to her faith So hard to keep the faith , that makes her full of hate Delia blessed by gods , nursed by angels makes him feel like rocking on a cloud she could ease all his troubles , cool him down when he´s drunk and loud She´s the only one who really loves the king Looking beyond the weight of his crown undisturbed by reality , she´s singing like a child and he´s falling asleep to the sound In the morning of the disputation a hurricane was breaking the shoreline the bishop and the queen was conspiring When discussion began Abraham was speaking with passion and presicion The appointed priest was retiring Afterwards you could hear the silence they were waiting for an act of violence To save Abrahams life , the king had to be clever he sentensed him to leave Aragon forever Sons of Adam , why do you keep fighting the ghettos in Poland , why do you keep fighting Auschwitz , Sobibor , why do you keep fighting Children of Israel keep fighting keep fighting
