In the presence of the queen
The bard is hopping the gate
Wondering how it became so hard to communicate
Where there used to be an open window
His number's blocked from her phone
At the risk of living in great danger
He'll give it up and be a farmer
Or a telemarketer in Oregon
Anything where he can not bring harm to
The hidden pillars of flame that thaw out
Her majеsty's frozen bones
But the wildеrness is wolves abound
And every step taken from the shoreline
Leaves him sure to drown in water
She only built a palace on the icy ground
To live alone
Saying
"No no no no why won't anybody ever
Go away?"
Go away
If you do, I know a way
You can get away from me
If you want to escape me
I can help you escape me
I just wanna be sure that you do
Really want to
