Emperor Andrew's Aria

[Verse] Emperor Andrew stands tall In his chamber Quiet walls Chessboard gleaming on the floor Tea is steeping Brewing more [Verse 2] In his mind A dance of kings Silent moves and golden rings Solitude His kingdom's friend Chess and tea Till the end [Chorus] Andrew reign Chess in hand Conquers thought Across the land Tea leaves tell Tales so grand Emperor's heart Understands [Verse 3] He forges plans In shadows deep Dreams awake When others sleep Pondering moves Of fate and woe In quiet halls Whispers flow [Verse 4] Knights and queens On paper plains Kingdom's fate Within his games Sip of tea Contemplative grace Calm resolve On his face [Bridge] Andrew's heart A mystic cave Chessboard tales Brave and grave Tea's aroma Drifting high Emperor’s soul Touching sky
