lirik lagu ywis – the allegory
a king who once upon all times
lived in every big or small town
met a queen and said: “be mine
please, wear my crown”
the queen was moved and spoke: “i will
if thou will grant me, my beloved one
some time and sp-ce where i can still
do what i want”
the king felt likewise and agreed
to him a king and queen were equal
he thought:
“we’re just what we both need
this love won’t fail”
so the wedding-day was set
the puppet house was filled with chains
they never thought in the nuptial bed
that things would change
the threads and lines that ruled their deeds
slowly got entangled
too strong
they nearly lost their heads
the fairy-tale was very short
but then there grew th-rns in both sides
being together both got bored
and fled the nights
the puppet show finally closed down
when their threads got in a knot
the players tried to straighten out
but they could not
the threads and lines that ruled their deeds
slowly got entangled
too strong
they nearly lost their heads
both only tried to fill own needs
didn’t try to feel the other
too long
and forever lost their threads
we’re all kings and queens, everybody, you and i
we’re merely marionettes led by all kinds of lines
lines from history, through family to eternity
lines tied to religion, education, well intentions and ambitions
the threads and lines that ruled their deeds
slowly got entangled
too strong
they nearly lost their heads
both only tried to fill own needs
didn’t try to feel the other
too long
and forever lost their threads
