Castillos

Once upon a time there was a land of honey
With crimson-colored rooftops
Where I was the queen and he was the king
In a kingdom of love tales

My magical castle in the air
Shone transparent under the Sun

Then came that cruel storm
And the castle, from the air, fell
In the light of a lightning bolt, at my feet opened
The abyss of his heart

Then I could see him as he truly was
And what I discovered shattered me

My king was a stone monster
With a heart of stone
He paid for my love with stones
He shattered my illusion with stones

I was once that naive faithful one
Who believed this tale was reality
And I paid so dearly for my foolishness
That I dare not dream

I don't want more castles in the air
Nor kings who hurt mercilessly

My king was a stone monster
With a heart of stone
His love was always a lie
Castles that are now ruins
