Galleon King of Aragon song lyrics

Morning, the pale light embraced his face

His thoughts slowly returned froma dreams confusing maze

He saw himself holding a scaleit was trembling in his handat one end was his kingdom, at the other a lonley man

Confused, betrayed by friends

Pleading justice, must break or bend Some priests had formed a vicious planto convert all the jewesa rabbi were to defending faithpersecution needs excuse He met a man with integrity, different from anyonehe knew

It seemed so absurd to punish him for the crimeof being a jewthey talked until the daybreak so much seemed tomake sence

How could religion be a capital offence

He gave him the right to defend his faith

But he couldn´t sense that he was safe The priests wasn´t intrested in truth that you could measurethey gave their orders to the king and kept himunder pressure The queen of Aragon, once so young and full of lifenow she´s turning colder for every day that she´s been his wife

Her new lovers name is power and her passionis to manipulate

She tries to keep her sanity by holding on to her faith

So hard to keep the faith, that makes her full of hate Delia blessed by gods, nursed by angelsmakes him feel like rocking on a cloudshe could ease all his troubles, cool him downwhen he´s drunk and loud

She´s the only one who really loves the king

Looking beyond the weight of his crownundisturbed by reality, she´s singing like a childand he´s falling asleep to the sound In the morning of the disputationa hurricane was breaking the shorelinethe bishop and the queen was conspiring

When discussion began Abraham was speakingwith passion and presicion

The appointed priest was retiring Afterwards you could hear the silencethey were waiting for an act of violence

To save Abrahams life, the king had to be cleverhe sentensed him to leave Aragon forever Sons of Adam, why do you keep fightingthe ghettos in Poland, why do you keep fighting

Auschwitz, Sobibor, why do you keep fighting

Children of Israel keep fightingkeep fighting
