Abney Park - Scheherazade lyrics

Across the sea of endless dunes There was a city covered in ruins Tell the tale of a faithless king And how his wives had been suffering Each day he wed another wife And each morning he would take another life And loyalty he could not find? 'Til the day he wed Scheherazade Writhe and spin and tell your tale Bend and twist, your life is frail Writhe and spin and tell your tale Bend and twist, your life is frail A thousand miles across seas of sand There was a prince in a merciful land With Scheherazade he played when young And her love around him, around him hung? She tied a note to a raptor's claw And he stretched his wings, disobeyed the law That bird of prey flew through the night To tell the prince of Scheherazade's plight Writhe and spin and tell your tale Bend and twist, your life is frail Writhe and spin and tell your tale Bend and twist, your life is frail (repeats)
