King Of Aragon Lyrics

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
