Song language: English
I Could Have Killed the King |
| I awake in strong arms and soft sheets |
| I lay in bed with the king |
| I don’t know how I got here |
| My head on his left shoulder, he’s still asleep |
| When palace guards enter: |
| «I'm a lover now, not an assassin,» I say |
| They laugh, roll their eyes and walk away |
| As if I were never a threat |
| As if I couldn’t have done anything |
| As if I couldn’t have killed the king |
| I could’ve done something |
| I could’ve killed the king |
| My only hope was to seduce |
| Poison hidden in my tooth, and I immune |
| And I would play at helpless |
| And never confess |
| And I’d be rescued the damsel in distress |
| But our hope that this kingdom |
| Could’ve been all of ours seems a delusion |
| And to be a royal concubine may be my best option |
| He covers me with kisses, tells me what a lucky girl I am |
| To use my only power to destroy |
| Or to be power’s toy |
| If I stay and pretend to love him |
| Everything is tinged with disappointment |
| Whether or not love is ever real |
| I could’ve done something |
| I could’ve done something |
| I could’ve killed the king |
| I could’ve done something |
| I could’ve killed the king |
| To use my only power to destroy |
| Or to be power’s toy |
| To use my only power to destroy |
| Or to be power’s toy I could’ve done something |
| I could’ve killed the king |
