Catherina de Medici (1519-1589) 

So the King’s about to die….
his final way to leave me,
he’s still dressed in black and white,
but now the odds cannot deceive me, She
will fall from power,
as she can no longer sign….
her name next to his,
her shame hard to miss,
and I’ll hold my head up high….
 [bad word] :
‘Though she’s no longer with him, Now the dice have been tossed,
I’ll keep my pain alive, for the time we have lost,
to strike in perfect rhythm, to catch his final breath,
I’m dancing with demons…. I’m dancing with demons….

So the end [bad word] at will,
and take what she’s denied me,
the love I dreamt of still,
the rage I felt when she defied me, Now
he lays there crying,
as he calls her name out loud….
but now I’ll defend
my vows ‘till the end,
I won’t let her near his shroud….
 [bad word] :
‘Though she’s no longer with him, Now the dice have been tossed,
I’ll keep my pain alive, for the time we have lost,
to strike in perfect rhythm, to catch his final breath,
I’m dancing with demons…. I’m dancing with demons….

No vengeance,
No treason,
Nothing to Machiavellian,
No tangens,
No poison,
Remember you’re Italian
She’ll vanish, She’ll vanish,
Be banished, Be banished,
It’s pointless, Now he’s
Now he is gone……. gone…….
 [bad word] :
‘Though she’s no longer with him, Now the dice have been tossed,

She’ll vanish,
Be banished,
It’s pointless, Now he’s
Now he is gone……. gone...
