The Sultan Lyrics - Renaissance

Sultan king cruel majesty 

Ordered that his women die 

A single night this for all his wives 

Takes his pleasure then their lives 

And so for many days with the dawn 

The sultan had his way 

Wives were put to death 

His name on their dying breath 

Then one day as the evening came 

Sultan sends for him a wife 

Choose her well charms I wish to see 

Bring her, send her in to me 

Then came Scheherazade to his side 

And her beauty shone 

Like a flower grown 

Gentle as he'd ever known 

Scheherazade bewitched him 

With songs of jewelled keys 

Princes and of heroes 

And eastern fantasies 

Told him tales of sultans 

And talismans and rings 

A thousand and one nights she sang 

To entertain her king 

She sings, Scheherazade, Scheherazade, etc
