Jubilee (Interlude) 00:47
lyrics

This matter is by the decree of the watchers And the demand by the word of the holy ones To the intent that the living may know That the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men And giveth it to whomsoever he will And setteth up over it the basest of men

Too Rich For Your Blood 04:32
lyrics
buy track
A grave for you, a ring for me Rumble in the jungle Malice in the palace if you want If you want The head that wears the crown Is oh so heavy And our prince leaves people Feeling quite unsteady On their feet If you please Maybe I'm too rich for your blood Maybe I'm not enough Maybe my heart's too big to love I cast pearls before swine Assumed you could, would, should be mine What have I done this time? What have I done this time? Eternal flame, eternal game Always secret-keeping Two heartbreaks from leaping in the ring Like a king Persephone was a fool compromising Sometimes hunger leads to consequences buying you some time While I pine Maybe I'm too rich for your blood Maybe I'm not enough Maybe my heart's too big to love I cast pearls before swine Assumed you could, would, should be mine What have I done this time? What have I done this time? Built my bed on a seed So I bruise in my sleep (I'm ready) Cut through the witch Dig a ditch, pull the stitch (I'm ready) The lamp is still cursed If my words caused you hurt (I'm ready) Guess the spell's broken Chest begins folding Heart's on the table Willing and able You're sober though, I should go home Still so drunk, can't find my phone The clock strikes twelve, won't look at me Hazy, but you're all I see Maybe I'm too rich for your blood Maybe I'm not enough Maybe my heart's too big to love I cast pearls before swine Assumed you could, would, should be mine What have I done this time? What have I done?

Who, who loves you? Who loves you the most? Who, who loves you? Who loves you the most? Who, who loves you? Who loves you the most? Who, who loves you? Who loves you the most? I'm not entitled I want everything that's mine All that I'm owed: all my diamonds All my rivers, all my gold It's not selfish I'm here to reap what's been sewn Just a piper, chasing pavements A debt collector, in the fold Some say that the castle's haunted now So treasure's free to find Weigh the scales, give up your ghost Who cares if the spirit of your prince holds you close? Babe, I'm still the one who loves you the most Who, who loves you? Who loves you the most? Who, who loves you? Who loves you the most? Who, who loves you? Who loves you the most? You'd trade a queendom To see my head on a plate Such is the dance - a body moving The wolves, they trap you in their glance And it's on your tongue now Yeah vengeance, she is so sweet If you're listening, I hope you're happy Toppling monarchs in our dreams Some say that the castle's haunted now So treasure's free to find Weigh the scales, give up your ghost Who cares if the spirit of your prince holds you close? Babe, I'm still the one who loves you the most Who, who loves you? Who loves you the most? Who, who loves you? Who loves you the most? Who, who loves you? Who loves you the most? Push your luck, but don't push me I'm not the one to bear your tears Sound it out, yeah, find the note Tell me, love, what do you hear? Not your holy one, not your magician I'm just a boy, meant to be king I take what belongs, and I right these wrongs Kiss the ring Some say that the castle's haunted now So treasure's free to find Weigh the scales, give up your ghost Who cares if the spirit of your prince holds you close? Babe, I'm still the one who loves you the most (I'm still the one, I'm still the one) Yeah, who loves you the most? (I'm still the one, I been the one) Who loves you the most? (I am the one, I'll be the one) Who loves you the most? Who loves you (Who loves you, who loves you the most? C'mon - say it) Like I love you? (Who loves you, who loves you the most?) Who loves you (Yeah, I think that I might love you, might love you the most) Like I love you? (I know love you the most)

Regicide (Interlude) 01:57
lyrics

When you shoot at the devil You'd best not miss Robin Hood with his new hit list A theft of excess doesn't count Another round I won't bow down Regicide is the one thing That needs clean aim Close one eye, take a deep breath And say my name Now the arrows mix with Cupid's too Deadly times two I thought you knew

Fall On Your Sword 03:46
lyrics

Back against the wall Cinders cover the floor Made of marble and glass What were you hoping for? When my troops arrive And believe me, they'll come I won't forgive what you've said You won't forget what I've done We have longed too loudly To all patron saints I just pray someone up above hears And we fall to grace Don't you shield your eyes From the damage you've caused All the bridges have burned Every fortress must fall Aphrodite seethes And her son can't shoot straight Love and war are the same Only if you don't wait We have longed too loudly To all patron saints I just pray someone up above hears And we fall to grace If you're lonely Enough to try and hold me To claim your reward Fall on your sword Not above beggin' When love is like a legend Batter down the door Fall on your sword Keep on daydreamin' Can't escape that feelin' Fairytale no more Fall on your sword Last coronation Done with abdication Now's the end of lore Fall on your sword We have longed too loudly To all patron saints I just pray someone up above hears And we fall to grace And we fall to grace And we fall to grace

Spellbreaker 04:08
lyrics

I'm looking for a spellbreaker Could you be the one? Keep my eyes out for a lovemaker Refuse to be undone Yes, there's magic all around I've smelled it, seen it, touched it, tasted But the midnight hour's close at hand So there's no time to be wasted Spellbreaker, poisoned apples can be sweet Oathtaker, climb the tower and get to me I've loved a thousand times Spent a hundred years trying to find The one who might be mine Champagne's never really different And the music sounds the same Though a royal invitation's priceless Can't remember why I came While I'm patient, conversations echo And I'm going crazy If I'm praying for a kiss to wake me I'mma keep on waiting Spellbreaker, poisoned apples can be sweet Oathtaker, climb the tower and get to me I've loved a thousand times Spent a hundred years trying to find The one who might be mine Bound to the moon I'm Eurydice called from her tomb My moment's coming soon So saith Venus Spin straw into gold No longer trade this love for bits of soul I'll hold your name once more If you hurry Spellbreaker, oh the prophecy was true (Oh the prophecy was true) Earthquaker, there's just one last thing I'm due (Spellbreaker) The dragon's on his knees (He's on his knees) The king and queen are at my feet I belong to you And you to me

A grave for you, a ring for me Rumble in the jungle Malice in the palace if you want If you want The head that wears the crown Is oh so heavy And this prince leaves people Feeling quite unsteady On their knees If you please Maybe I'm too rich for your blood Maybe I'm not enough Maybe my heart's too big to love I cast pearls before swine Assumed you could, would, should be mine What have I done this time? What have I done this Eternal flame, eternal game Always secret-keeping Two heartbreaks from leaping in the ring Like a king Persephone was a fool compromising Sometimes hunger leads to consequences buying you some time While I pine Maybe I'm too rich for your blood Maybe I'm not enough Maybe my heart's too big to love I cast pearls before swine Assumed you could, would, should be mine What have I done this time? What have I done? Oh can we start from the top? My heart drops, you don't stop I'm ready Twisting the knife This is love, this is life I'm ready Admit that I'm hurt But your words, they were heard I'm ready The party is over I'm drunk and you're sober My ride is here waiting No more hesitating The shot's been blown, I'm all alone Lost you, so I lost my home C'est la vie, onto the next Should I just send one more text? Maybe I'm too rich for your blood Maybe I'm not enough Maybe my heart's too big to love Cast pearls before swine You could, would, should be mine What have I done this time? What have I done?

Potion 04:38
lyrics

Cauldron's bubbling, oh so troubling Someone must be hexed Shores receding, words repeating Needle pulling thread I ate forbidden fruit Despite what I knew Lovers heed my call Lest heartbreak befall It's just a potion, it's just a tell It's just a favor, pulled from a well It's just a promise with fingers crossed No more learned lessons No more confessions Loosened shackles, snakeskin jackals Even she defends Glowing specter, courtside jester Burning at both ends The game is afoot Princess, help me look Hidden from it all You'd be first to fall It's just a potion, it's just a tell It's just a favor, pulled from a well It's just a promise with fingers crossed No more learned lessons No more confessions Covering the mirrors will do us no good Release the hounds and get the firewood A secret vow, an heiress, is all that it takes Next in line upon the throne You bend, but don't break Weaving the loom Air leaves the room Two drops do the trick Or a spinning wheel prick Or a glass meeting brick Or a body so sick The habit you kicked The curse that you picked I'm it It's just a potion, it's just a tell It's just a favor, pulled from a well It's just a promise with fingers crossed No more learned lessons No more confessions

about

The divine right of kings asserts that a sovereign, by virtue of their birth, is granted the God-given power to rule. But there are a number of other, more important things that we are owed in this life. The most sublime among them all? The unhindered ability to love and be loved. The Divine Right cradles that heavenly privilege, in all of its anguish, sorrow, exuberance, and beauty.

The Troubadour Suite (tracks 1-6) is named in honor of the French medieval poets who celebrated devotion between exhales; every shed tear and fluttering heartbeat a bullet.

The Harlequin Suite (tracks 7-10), by and large, was the very inception of this record, and created to serve its track list predecessor.

I've never fallen, I've only ever landed in love; steps even, gaze unflinching. It may not be the lost logical part of life, but that just makes it all the more celestial.

I pray that The Divine Right brings heat to your bones, and sets you alight.
