The Beyonds - Abdication Lyrics

In a land of castles and dreams so bright
A young woman met a prince one night
He was kind so smart saw her as his equal
In his eyes she found a love so real
He asked her to rise to join his noble line
To share his throne to be forever intertwined
But she thought the rules didn't apply to her
Handed back the crown love began to blur
He handed her the crown of a queen
But she handed it back said she wasn't keen
Now she's the Queen who never was
Lost in the echoes of what love does
The prince was sent away to train for the throne
Leaving her in the court feeling alone
She took up with the jester in laughter found solace
Bore his child in a palace so callous
The prince returned ready to be crowned king
But her choices had clipped love's wings
She wanted now to stand by his side
But her past choices she couldn't hide
He handed her the crown of a queen
But she handed it back said she wasn't keen
Now she's the Queen who never was
Lost in the echoes of what love does
Only a king can crown his queen
But she lost her chance in the space between
The jester's child a mark of her fall
A love that could've been now a distant call
He handed her the crown of a queen
But she handed it back said she wasn't keen
Now she's the Queen who never was
Lost in the echoes of what love does
She watches him rule a king alone
Wishing for a love she could've known
Forever the queen who never reigned
In her heart a love unclaimed
