Indrakshi Horned Queen

(CHORUS)
There is a Queen on Eastern shores
Whose deadly beauty is famed
The Bengal Queen on the Tyger Throne
And Indrakshi is her name.

Said shepherd lad to the Hornéd Queen
“I’m awestruck by your light
There cannot be such a wondrous dream
As your fair gaze tonight!”
She turned her sight to his vacant stare
“Now do not be a fool.
For love, I brought back a Demon King
Not light but darkness rules.”

CHORUS

Then highborn Knight cantered to her side
“Your smile do I plead
For Portugal do I fight today
Your favor give to me!”
Now pity ruled her steeléd stare
“My father knew those lands
But danger drove me yet farther East
Away with your demands!”

CHORUS

Now comes at last the Demon King
Enrobed in majesty
“My consort who I have raised so high
Have you a kiss for me?”
Like dawn breaks forth from starless night
She gave a smile then.
Yet even summoned forth Demon Kings
Can be sent back again.

CHORUS, REPEAT LAST TWO LINES SLOWLY
