long ago in days untold
were ruled by lords of greed
maidens fared with gold they dared
to bare their wombs that bleed
kings and queens and guillotines
taking lives denied
starch and parchment laid the laws
when bishops took the ride
only to deceive
oh I know I
lived this life before
somehow I know now
truths I must be sure
tossin', turnin', nightmares burnin'
dreams of swords in hand
sailing ships, the Viking spits
the blood of father's land
only to deceive


living times of knights and mares
raising swords for maidens fair
sneer at death, fear only loss of pride
living other centuries
deja vu or what you please
follows true to all who do or die
screams of no reply
they died
screams of no reply
and died
lordy, lordy, they died
lordy, lordy, they died

let them do or die
(long ago in days untold were ruled by lords of greed...)
they died
(kings and queens and guillotines...)
let them no reply
(long ago in days untold were ruled by lords of greed...)
they died
(kings and queens and guillotines...)
