The Renaissance - The Sultan lyrics

Sultan king cruel majesty Ordered that his women die A single night this for all his wives Takes his pleasure then their lives And so for many days with the dawn The sultan had his way Wives were put to d**h His name on their dying breath Then one day as the evening came Sultan sends for him a wife Choose her well charms i wish to see Bring her, send her in to me Then came scheherazade to his side And her beauty shone Like a flower grown Gentle as he'd ever known Scheherazade bewitched him With songs of j**elled keys Princes and of heroes And eastern fantasies Told him tales of sultans And talismans and rings A thousand and one nights she sang To entertain her king She sings, scheherazade, scheherazade, etc
