She sits alone upon a throne of deep and bitter red
The cabernet reminds her that the life she knew is dead
She looks upon the land of emperors and swords
The scenery is breathtaking but all she is is bored

She’s home at last

The girls with painted faces and the boys with feathered hair
Filter laughingly beside her; no one notices or cares
The beauty of the temples and the lushness of the land
Cannot assuage her solitude or the tightness of the band

She’s home at last

She remembers when she met him
Temples grey and full of wisdom
Things were so different then
She never doubted him

Now through the clarity of reckoning
She sees his love as merely flattery
And his adoration as an affectation
Of his calculating and easily bruised ego
His ego, his ego

She sits alone upon a throne of deep and bitter red
The cabernet reminds her that the life she knew is dead
She looks upon the land of emperors and swords
The scenery is breathtaking but all she is is bored

She waits for him in luxury of the finest kind
He took her heart in usury; at first she didn’t mind
She sees him idling beside a pretty girl in red
At first she’d have felt hurt; now all she feels is dead

The beer is cold, the sake’s hot
The lust is there, the love is not
They stare across a room of dark-haired strangers

Like frightened children they steal a look
At the one whose vow they took
They’ll never know unless they ask
And we know they’ll never ask

They’re home at last
