I keep the philosophers of the continent on a leash
I propped up my Kingdom's marble ceilings with an army
I've got dogs, falcons, dragons - I do adore the hunt!
And all around me there's only deer and hares...
I raise up palaces and cut off heads
Whenever I feel in a mood
I've got biographers and portrait painters to praise my virtues
And there's just one more thing I want,,,
"Stop, Your Highness!
A dream such as this can take the crown of right off your head!"
I am a wolf ahead of my time and an icon
I'm not entertained by the embrace of pale court ladies!
The touch of their delicate fingers disgusts me
I'd rather hunt those deer and hares...
Ashamed, some of them later called me
An insatiable buffon!
And I had them running naked
Through the snow all around the Palace!
"Stop, My lord!
A dream such as this can take the crown of right off your head!"
I need someone who is like my Kingdom...
Who would take me as I give - the whole package!
Who could be both my master and my subject
Who could be a deer a hare and a hunter,,,
Who could understand, as I understand it
- this stupid court of predefined roles
And who, among these bowed heads
Could grant me pleasure or pain!
"Stop, My liege!
A dream such as this can take the crown of right off your head!
If you ever found a lover like this..."
- I know! I know well! I'd have their head rolling!
