The King Who Stole (...The Universe)
Well sittin’ down somewhere alone
Was a king on a tinsel throne
Giant rubies and emeralds in his crown made of gold
Softly whispered secret meanings of their own
He was a great proud king they had said
In his robe of lilac and red
But the mysterious thing about this being who was a king
Was the jewel studded crown on his head
For at one time these stones were not jewels
But planets made of many fools
Who had sold him their Sun
’Cause they thought he was the one
Who had given them all of their rules
(You know who they thought he was)
And when he had paid for their star
He would send it away very far
For now he did own it
And surely would not loan it
To fools who’d disowned it before
And as the worlds froze, the king’s eyes
Delighted at the sight of his prize
For he saw they would make
A considerable take
And he then changed their shape and their size
And he mounted them all in his crown
For they were gems of rarity and renown
And this trick he would play
On a planet every day
Until there were no more to be found
And soon the king was alone (all alone)
He’d made the whole universe his own
With no worlds to compete
His goal now complete
He finally welcomed death to his throne
And did I hear the wind laugh
As the old king’s death came to pass
For this great proud king
Who thought he owned everything
Had overlooked one world, alas
O Rei Que Roubou (...O Universo)
Bem sentado em algum lugar sozinho
Era um rei em um trono de enfeites
Grandes rubis e esmeraldas na coroa feita de ouro
Sussurravam suavemente significados secretos próprios
Ele era um grande e orgulhoso rei, diziam
Em seu manto lilás e vermelho
Mas a coisa misteriosa sobre esse ser que era um rei
Era a coroa cravejada de joias em sua cabeça
Pois em um tempo essas pedras não eram joias
Mas planetas feitos de muitos tolos
Que lhe venderam seu Sol
Porque achavam que ele era o escolhido
Que lhes dera todas as suas regras
(Você sabe quem eles achavam que ele era)
E quando ele pagou por sua estrela
Ele a mandava muito longe
Pois agora ele a possuía
E com certeza não a emprestaria
Para tolos que a haviam rejeitado antes
E enquanto os mundos congelavam, os olhos do rei
Se deliciavam ao ver seu prêmio
Pois ele viu que fariam
Um considerável lucro
E então ele mudou sua forma e seu tamanho
E ele as montou todas em sua coroa
Pois eram gemas de raridade e renome
E esse truque ele faria
Em um planeta a cada dia
Até que não houvesse mais para serem encontradas
E logo o rei estava sozinho (totalmente sozinho)
Ele fizera todo o universo seu
Sem mundos para competir
Seu objetivo agora completo
Ele finalmente acolheu a morte em seu trono
E ouvi o vento rir
Enquanto a morte do velho rei chegava
Pois esse grande e orgulhoso rei
Que achava que possuía tudo
Havia negligenciado um mundo, ai ai.
