The Frog Prince

Keane · Under The Iron Sea [2006]

An old fairytale told me

The simple heart will be prized again

A toad will be our king

And ugly ogres our heroes



Then you'll shake your fist at the sky

"Oh, why did I rely

On fashions and small fry?"



All promises broken

Feed your people or lose your throne

And forfeit your whole kingdom

I'd sooner lose it than still live in it alone



You were our golden child

But the gentle and the mild

Inherit the earth



While your prince's crown cracks and falls down

Your castle hollow and cold

You've wandered so far from the person you are

Let go, brother, let go

Because now we all know



Soon someone will put a spell on you

Pefume, treasure, sorcery, every trick they know

You will lie in a deep sleep



That's when your prince's crown cracks and falls down

Your castle hollow and cold

You've wandered so far from the person you are

Let go, brother, let go

Because now we all know
