300

A Piece Inspired by the Motion picture and Soundtrack of the Movie ' 300 '
Specifically, the Love Story Between King Leonidas and His Queen. In this Piece i try and tell the story of their love, i think the movie overshadowed a huge part of it and concentrated on the bloodshed and battlefields ruthelessly.


In This Piece, I give Voice to the Woman behind the veils; the tormented Mother, The Torn Lover, and the Longing and Loyal Wife.


I give Heed to the Queen.


Sound Track Numbers that Inspired my Piece:
[ From the Original Motion Picture SoundTrack- A Breathtaking Composition By Tyler Bates]
-Track9 [ Goodbye my Love]
-Track24 [ Message for the Queen]


__________________________________________________ _____________________________





A king lies in my arms tonight,
His crown rests on my chest
Adorned they are by gold leaves and ruby
But tonight they leave their golden throne
And bow with his sleeping head


A warrior lies in my arms tonight,
His armor no longer shields his body
I trace his scars…
Here is where a sword fell…
Here is where an arrow plunged
And here is where a woman would rest
On his scarred and heaving chest


A leader lies in my arms tonight
His men would know sleep no more
Their shields glisten in the cerulean night…
And their swords will feed the thirsty earth at dawn
He whispers not fear, nor death
He whispers only of me
Of me alone…


My love, lies in my arms tonight,
I cradle him close to my trembling heart,
That he would hear not my muffled trembling cries
And he whispers,
"I lie in the arms of my love tonight,
And at dawn I will lie in the arms of the dark winged angel of death
Oh if you were death
I would love death
If you were pain
I would love pain
If you were the battle field itself
I will fight until the last breath of me…"


I fear not death
I fear not pain
But I fear that tonight; will be the last night… I lie in your arms again…



. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .



A fallen hero lies in my arms tonight
His men carried him to me
I bring him close to my trembling cries
Tonight, I can cry
For tonight… He hears not my cries
For tonight, he lies in the arms of another…


My king, my husband, my love


I lie in your arms tonight.
