The Queen had a faint and had a fall
Don't give me ether or open my vein
I'm sane, I know I'm sane

I don't give a care for the crown or the shield
I will not protect you
Happily yield to the one who makes me come undone

Who was born and in what way of the fields
And poppies lay
Who was born and in what way of the fields

The Queen is walking away with only her stockings on
Raven hair and forbidden pairs of song
Valiant tune, the colors ott to gold
Colors of the morning old

Who was born and in what way of the fields
And poppies lay
Who was born and in what way of the fields

Monarch, now lay your jeweled head
Monarch, now lay your jeweled head
Monarch, now lay your jewels

Monarch, now lay your jeweled head
Monarch, now lay your jeweled head
Monarch, now lay your jeweled head

The Queen saw the beast in the ribs of the guard
And has been dear, you are nearer to the eye
You're thrown places you wouldn't hold me pardon
So weigh the hand of God

Weigh the hand of God, through you is so cruel
Who was born, in what way
Who was born, in what way

    i think it's "throne places you in holy pardon"

    and "lay" instead of "ay"

    and the very first word of the song should be "the" instead of "he". But i'm not sure.

    I adore this song. "The Queen is walking away with only her stockings on Waving having forbidden pears and song"" :D

    It has always sounded to me more like:

    "Raven hair and forbidden pears and song"

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
