Don't ask, Don't tell

And tell me how hungry are you? How weak you must feel,
as you are living here alone and you are never revealed,
but I won't march again on your battlefield,
and he took her to the window to see.

And the sun, it was gold, though the sky it was grey,
and she wanted more than she ever could say,
but she knew how it frightened her and she turned away
and would not look at his face again.

And he said I want to live as an honest man,
to get all I deserve and to give all I can,
and to love a young woman whom I don't understand,
Your highness your ways are very strange.

But the crown it had fallen and she thought she would break,
and she stood there ashamed of the way her heart ached,
and she took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait,
she would only be a moment inside.

And out in the distance her order was heard,
and the soldier was killed, still waiting for her word,
and as the queen went on strangling in the solitude she preferred,
the battle, continued on.
