Story Behind the Song
I honestly don't remember for certain who this one was for, if it was for anyone in particular. Written in Palm Springs, it was during a period when they all seemed important, but didn't last long... This is my answer to Puff the Magic Dragon.:)
Lyrics
Lords of the Realm
I was dreaming of you, Shadow Warrior,
And the night we were lords of the realm.
I was dreaming of you 'til the sunlight spoiled it all -
Shattered the illusion that you were lying by my side
CHORUS:
I never dreamed I could have you, so it was
Really no loss, no surprise
When all that I am couldn't hold you -
I shouldn't even have tried!
Last time I saw you we were
Lords of the Realm, for the night.
We were fighting the shackles of darkness
Sliding between wrong and right,
We were Conquering lands with our broadswords in hand,
Demons and dragons, and distances to fight, but
Repeat Chorus
I'll feel no shame, I will bear no regret
That our passionate violence ran high.
If I am suffering, I've made my own pain,
It's rememberence offers the sigh
Last time I saw you we were
Lords of the Realm, for the night.
I should have known that we were
Only together for the night...
