lyrics
Come live your life with me
Over the stars
You run away with me
Ever and always
Could it be you who saves
‘Poor King of Hearts’?
Stay in the shadow light
Ever and always
Every time you see my face
it’s on the other dividing line
There’s no different smile
Every day you open doors that I have warned
You mustn’t open
But never you listen carefully to this, my darling
It’s not only me who hurt by prying eyes
It won’t be long before you discover my secrets
And pay with your soul
Poor King of Hearts
Your castle under lock and key
Poor King of Hearts
The love you crave will never be
She’ll never know you
Till you open up the doors
And then, and then she’ll run away
Afraid of what she sees
Poor King of Hearts
You only have yourself to blame
Poor King of Hearts
You lived your life a wicked man
Lonely King of Hearts
I never feel ashamed for you
Poor King of Hearts
It’s more than that, I love you too
Poor King of Hearts
Why does your sorrow speak to me so?
Oh King of Hearts
She opened up the seventh door
Poor King of Hearts
Your loneliness forever more
Cry, King of Hearts
Reel against those chains you wear
Scream, King of Hearts
Know that your wickedness put them there
No one will ever love you
Brick by brick, lock by lock
Storm by storm, Skull by skull
Ever lasting, never ending King of Hearts
Spend your lifetime alone
Alone in the shadow light
Poor King of Hearts
Alone... alone... alone... alone......
Over the stars
You run away with me
Ever and always
Could it be you who saves
‘Poor King of Hearts’?
Stay in the shadow light
Ever and always
Every time you see my face
it’s on the other dividing line
There’s no different smile
Every day you open doors that I have warned
You mustn’t open
But never you listen carefully to this, my darling
It’s not only me who hurt by prying eyes
It won’t be long before you discover my secrets
And pay with your soul
Poor King of Hearts
Your castle under lock and key
Poor King of Hearts
The love you crave will never be
She’ll never know you
Till you open up the doors
And then, and then she’ll run away
Afraid of what she sees
Poor King of Hearts
You only have yourself to blame
Poor King of Hearts
You lived your life a wicked man
Lonely King of Hearts
I never feel ashamed for you
Poor King of Hearts
It’s more than that, I love you too
Poor King of Hearts
Why does your sorrow speak to me so?
Oh King of Hearts
She opened up the seventh door
Poor King of Hearts
Your loneliness forever more
Cry, King of Hearts
Reel against those chains you wear
Scream, King of Hearts
Know that your wickedness put them there
No one will ever love you
Brick by brick, lock by lock
Storm by storm, Skull by skull
Ever lasting, never ending King of Hearts
Spend your lifetime alone
Alone in the shadow light
Poor King of Hearts
Alone... alone... alone... alone......

supported by 40 fans who also own “King of Hearts”
BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...

Fantasy progressive rock is not something I'd ever thought of. Yet Foreign Land, especially the Foreign Land track itself, transported me straight into an unknown, magical fantasy world.
