lyrics

YOU FELL VICTIM TO THE TYRANT OF SPAIN, BY HIS MANIPULATION OF YOUR FAMILY NAME
I WAS THE SOLDIER THAT TOOK YOU AWAY
AND TRAVELED SO DISTRACTED IN THE BEAUTY OF YOUR WAKE
I DEVISED A PLAN AS YOU GENTLY LOOKED AWAY
THOUGH I STRUGGLED WITH THOUGHTS OF SULLYING MY NAME
BUT I WON’T BE THE SOLDIER TO HAND YOU TO HIM
I’LL BE THE MAN THAT YOU ESCAPE WITH

THOUGH THIS MIGHT GO POORLY
AND HE’LL CHASE US ENDLESSLY
YOU TELL ME SO SOFTLY
YOU’D RATHER BE AFRAID AND FREE
THAN A CAPTIVE OF HIS ROYALTY

THAT NIGHT WE MADE A FIRE FROM THE COLORS OF THE STATE
YOU REMOVED MY ARMOR IN A LOVER’S EMBRACE
OUTLINED MY SCARS WITH YOUR FINGERTIPS
SWORE YOU’D FOLLOW ME TO THE END WITH A KISS

THOUGH THIS MIGHT GO POORLY
AND HE’LL CHASE US ENDLESSLY
YOU TELL ME SO SOFTLY
YOU’D RATHER BE AFRAID AND FREE
THAN A CAPTIVE OF HIS ROYALTY

YOU FELL VICTIM TO THE TYRANT OF SPAIN
BUT I SWIFTLY STOLE YOU FROM RIGHT UNDER HIS WING
