Kristina från Duvemåla (musical) "Emperors And Kings!" Songtext

Emperors And Kings!

SettlersIf you wanna be free of emperors and kings!Leave the kings and emperors behind youDon't let'em tie you down and clip your wingsDon't let'em shackle and bind you

UlrikaI was four when the parishAuctioned me away

SettlersShame on thoseWho sold you and who used you

UlrikaThey were like wolves and I was easy prey

SettlersShame on the men who abused you

DanjelI was giving CommunionI was not ordained

SettlersSo they jailed you in the name of Jesus

DanjelHere I can preach the Gospel unconstrained

SettlersHere he can preach what he pleases!Never again will we lower our eyesFearing the powers that beSwallowing sermons from men we despiseMen who command by decree

It's a funny old new world! - All is upside down!He who was a pauper can be king hereGiven a voice a man stand his groundHe who was silent can sing here

Fina-KajsaCry for Anders, my sonFor he was all I had

SettlersDragged a grindstone to her son from Sweden

Fina-KajsaBut when I found him, drink had made him mad

SettlersLost in this Garden of Eden!

Karl OskarThere is just one regret,One thing I've come to know

SettlersHere we are and here we'll stay forever?

Karl OskarWe should have come here many years ago

SettlersLater is better than never!

Never again will we lower our eyesFearing the powers that beSwallowing sermons from men we despiseMen who command by decreeIf you wanna be free of emperors and kings!Leave the kings and emperors behind youDon't let'em tie you down and clip your wingsDon't let'em shackle and bind you

Karl OskarDearest Kristina, please tell me what's wrong?

KristinaPay no attention to me

DanjelMaybe it's time for us all to go homeIt's been a very long day

KristinaWhat a fool I must seemForgive me, everyonePlease ignoreA silly woman weeping

Karl OskarI'm gonna buildA bigger house next yearA house that'll be worth the keeping
