Midnight in Varennes (The King's Flight)

(Intro - Acoustic guitar strumming with a lonely flute melody)
(Verse 1)
The carriage wheels are muffled in the dark
Leaving the palace, extinguishing the spark
A servant's coat upon a royal back
Trading the velvet for a burlap sack
The compass points away from the throne
Into the night, unknown and alone
(Chorus)
Oh, the bird has flown the gilded cage
Turning the book to a blank, white page
But a face on a coin is hard to hide
When the ego is wider than the countryside
Midnight in Varennes, the clock strikes loud
A king in the shadows, losing the crowd
(Verse 2)
Through the sleeping villages, they creep
While the promises made are fast asleep
The border is calling, a siren's song
But the road is winding and the night is long
A postmaster’s eye, a lantern’s gleam
Waking the dreamer from the fever dream
(Chorus)
Oh, the bird has flown the gilded cage
Turning the book to a blank, white page
But a face on a coin is hard to hide
When the ego is wider than the countryside
Midnight in Varennes, the clock strikes loud
A king in the shadows, losing the crowd
(Flute Solo - Fast, chaotic, and whimsical)
(Bridge)
He thought the distance would wash away the sin
But the walls are closing, closing in
Not by the sword, but by the sight
Of a common man holding up the light
"Is that him? Is that the crown?"
The world stops spinning and comes crashing down
(Verse 3)
Turn the horses, head back to the heat
To the sullen silence of the Paris street
No cheers, no hats thrown in the air
Just the heavy burden of a cold, dead stare
The father has left, and the children weep
Secrets are sown for the reaper to reap
(Outro)
Back to the cage.
The lock clicks shut.
Midnight... forever.
(Sound of heavy wooden door closing)
