Meet The King Lyrics - Razia's Shadow: A Musical - Forgive Durden

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 that you could waltz right in 

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 

Father, you don't understand 

I'm not after your throne or jewels 

You can't justify demands 

Not looking for a crown or a holy rule 

Father, don't you understand? 

I just want your daughter's heart, you fool 

You can't hold onto my hand 

'Cause I have found my man 

Daughter, my dear, please open both your ears 

There is something not right here 

Well, I can't place my finger on it 

But this young man's filled with darkness 

If you think I'll just sit back and let this slide 

(Then you are mistaken) 

I will surely not give up without a fight 

'Cause I'm the king, it won't be that easy 

Father, you don't understand 

I'm not after your throne or jewels 

You can't justify demands 

Not looking for a crown or a holy rule 

Father, don't you understand? 

I just want your daughter's heart, you fool 

You can't hold onto my hand 

'Cause I have found my man 

Please sir, let me say 

Something on my behalf 

I love your daughter and she 

Well, 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 

So let's sing 

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 

Evil's 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 levee 

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-lived
