Meet The King

(album: Razia's Shadow: A Musical - 2008)

[King Malka (played by Nic Newsham):]
So you're the boy I've heard so much about from my daughter's open mouth?
She's described for me wild fantasies of true love and ancient prophecies.
Did you think you could waltz right and steal? (The princess for yourself...)
Seducing her with empty dreams and a rusting ring?
Well I'm the king It won't be that easy.

[Anhura (played by Greta Salpeter):]
Father, you don't understand...

[Adakias (played by Thomas Dutton):]
I'm not after your throne or jewels.

[Anhura (played by Greta Salpeter):]
We can justify demands...

[Adakias (played by Thomas Dutton):]
Not looking for a crown or holiness.

[Anhura (played by Greta Salpeter):]
Father, don't you understand?

[Adakias (played by Thomas Dutton):]
I just want your daughter's heart, you fool.

[Anhura (played by Greta Salpeter):]
You can hold onto my hand, cause I have found my man.

[King Malka (played by Nic Newsham):]
Daugher, my dear, please open both your ears.
There is something not right here.
I can't place my finger on it,
But this young man is filled with darkness.
Did you think I'd just sit back and let this slide? (You are mistaken!)
I will surely not give up without a fight.
'Cause I'm the king. It won't be that easy.

[Anhura (played by Greta Salpeter):]
Father, you don't understand...

[Adakias (played by Thomas Dutton):]
I'm not after your throne or jewels.

[Anhura (played by Greta Salpeter):]
We can justify demands...

[Adakias (played by Thomas Dutton):]
Not looking for a crown or holiness.

[Anhura (played by Greta Salpeter):]
Father, don't you understand?

[Adakias (played by Thomas Dutton):]
I just want your daughter's heart, you fool.

[Anhura (played by Greta Salpeter):]
You can hold onto my hand, cause I have found my man.

[Adakias (played by Thomas Dutton):]
Please, sir, let me say something on my behalf.
I love your daughter and she, she loves me back.
All we have is love, my King, so let's sing la da da da.
All we have is love, my King, so let's sing la da da da.
All we have is love, my King, so let's sing la da da da.
All we have is love, my King, let's sing.

[Aaron Weiss (playing the Narrator):]
Denied by the king and his greed,
The pair would indeed be married in secrecy.
But before they had agreed when and where to meet,
The princess felt queasy and weak, could barely speak.
Adakias knew instantly why she was so green
And what had caused the disease. It was his proximity.
She was ill from his company. Evils ubiquity.
You can't run from your history.
Your past will seek you endlessly.
He knew the only remedy to her viral malady resided
And abided on the opposite side of the petrous
Levy and its harsh, barbed, concrete peak.
So while avoiding the leak of his true identity,
Adakias convinced the princess of their leave.
They would meet with a specialist and rid her blood of this.
He kissed her on the lips and assured her a life-long live.
