My Fairy King (BBC Session / February 5th 1973, Langham 1 Studio) - Queen

In the land where horses born with eagle wings

And honey bees have lost their stings

There's singing forever

Lion's den with fallow deer

And rivers made from wine so clear

Flow on and on forever

Dragons fly like sparrows through the air

And baby lambs where Samson dares

To go on on on on...

My fairy king can see things

(He rules the air and turns the tides)

That are not there for you and me

(Ohh yeah he guides the winds)

My fairy king can do right and nothing wrong

Then came man to savage in the night

To run like thieves and to kill like knives

To take away the power from the magic hand

To bring about the ruin to the promised land

They turn the milk into sour

Like the blue in the blood of my veins

Why can't you see it?

Fire burnin' in hell with the cry of screaming pain

Son of heaven set me free and let me go

Sea turn dry no salt from sand

Teeth don't shine like pearls for the poor man's eyes

No more

Someone (someone)

Has drained the color from my wings

Broken my fairy circle ring

And shamed the king in all his pride

Changed the winds and wronged the tides

Mother mercury, look what they've done to me

I cannot run I cannot hide
