Up Past Midnight - Welcome Your Majesties

In the quiet darkness
The books have come to whisper to me
of ancient races and lost mythology

Welcome your majesties
All hail the new king and queen
Rulers to straighten the crooked
and enlighten minds lost to delusion
See them in their fineries
Hear them give their blessings
Welcome your majesties
All hail the new king and queen

In the cardboard castle they
Sing and recite prophecy
Oracles of what was and what may be
Here I am at the gate looking up into the sun
Having walked dark forests
For a sight of the golden crown

Welcome your majesties
All hail the new king and queen
Rulers to straighten the crooked
and enlighten minds lost to delusion
See them in their fineries
Hear them give their blessings
Welcome your majesties
All hail the new king and queen

The paper gate is stained with
Exotic inks and countless years
Hall are lined with subtle paintings and tapestries
There are many fine rooms
With space for quiet musings
The only guard is the fool who
Challenges my self-deception

Welcome your majesties
All hail the new king and queen
Rulers to straighten the crooked
and enlighten minds lost to delusion
See them in their fineries
Hear them give their blessings
Welcome your majesties
All hail the new king and queen
