Deep in the dark of a forest kingdom   Under banyan covered skies   Lived a king with untold riches;   Jewels, gold, and two fair wives.   Both had hair as black as midnight,   Coal-black eyes that sparkled bright,   Terra-cotta skin as smooth as bronze   And tempting movements like a sprite.      Every night he indulged his fantasies   Enjoyed his wives and went to sleep   As he slept his wives kept secrets   Holding hands under the sheets.      Each dark day in his ancient palace   The emporer sant on hs throne of gold   His young wives explored bright gardens   Eyes met eyes and hands took hold (not completely sure about "hands took hold here)      On that day in the dead of summer   A pretty young wife saw a look of love   Her lover's face had taught their husband   Finally jealous, she lost her love.      One hot night in the dad of summer   The Emporer's wife stole the Magi's blade   Crept into her lover's chamber   And as they slept, her lover slayed.      Deep in the dark of a forest kingdom   Under banyan covered skies   Lived a king with untold riches;   Jewels, gold, and two fair wives.   Both had hair as black as midnight,   Coal-black eyes that sparkled bright,   Terra-cotta skin as smooth as bronze   And tempting movements like a sprite.
