lyrics

Came, though I didn't want to
The need was too strong
Stayed away as long as I could, but
It was you all along
I fear there's something I must do unless
You tell me I'm wrong

King, you’re far too trusting of the things you learned when young
You must make a way out of this place you’ve left undone

Lucrezia, you've been light, love and teacher,
So much for so long
But once more I must beg your indulgence
Could you lend me your song?

King, I lend you arm and leg so you can make amends
Abuse them not I am nonviolent until you force my hand

I fear the choice is already made, but
Must it be my hand?

Yours would be the one that makes most sense
I cannot do everything

Take the light from my crown until
I'm worthy again
Don't forget the things I do now
If it succeeds in the end

Forsake me now and return later to beg for my aid
Is not the future I desire but for you I will wait

I fear the choice is already made, but
Must it be my hand?

Yours would be the one that makes most sense
I cannot do everything

Lucrezia, darling, I am no saviour
But this need it asks for this stand

I leave no trust to any man but for you my king I can
Don’t let me down
Be worthy of your crown

Take the light from my crown until
I'm worthy again

Don't let me down

Don't forget the things I do now
If it succeeds in the end

Don't let me down
