King Only
Seeking Kingdoms and Love Lost: The Twilight Singers' 'King Only' Meaning
Lyrics
Once
At a certain time
I thought I would be King
I believed I would have power and authority
And get a piece of anything
And gain a share of everything
A Kingdom has it coming to
A dominion deserves its fate
If I flew high enough
If I reached great heights
To touch the hand of Venus
To make contact with the goddess of love
Would she stroke my face?
Would she show me affection?
And promise me the Kingdom would be mine
And assure me that I'd rule the kingdom
If only I
Only if I
Play me
Entertain me
Save me
Rescue me
Either way I'll be your baby
In any case, I'll be devoted to you
'Cause you don't have to tell me so
Because you don't have to articulate it
For me to know
For me to understand
That you don't love me anymore
That your affection for me has faded
Once
At a certain time
I woke up from a dream
I awoke from a vision
And knew that things would never be
And realized that things wouldn't turn out
The kingdom that was promised me
The dominion that was assured to me
And I fell far enough
And I descended deeply enough
To touch the hand of Lucifer
To make contact with the angel cast out of heaven
Stripped of all His glory
Devoid of all His magnificence
When He sat beside the King
When He sat next to the ruler
And was denied
And was rejected
