Lady In Waiting
An exhilarating and powerful statement of intent about a lady in waiting who is destined to become Queen. Merging classical influences and historical references with very contemporary elements and production, this first eponymous single provides a cinematic and energetic opening to the album, and a strong indication of the main underlying theme of all the rest of the tracks on it…
Like an angel;
Eyes of hazel and porcelain skin
Hide a secret within
Ever faithful;
Pure of heart but she cannot resist
Who she really is
And she knows it’s her time
She is destined to rise
The lady in waiting
A Queen in the making
It’s all for the taking
They can’t keep her down
Oh lady in waiting
Don’t give up the fight
It’s your divine right
To wear the crown
Underrated;
From the shadows and into the light
She’s about to take flight
Vindicated;
Those who doubted her she’ll leave behind
Cast them out of her mind
‘Cause she knows she’s enough
She can rise above
The lady in waiting
A Queen in the making
It’s all for the taking
They can’t keep her down
Oh lady in waiting
Don’t give up the fight
It’s your divine right
To wear the crown
Alea iacta est, vincere est totum
(The die is cast, to win is everything)
Hortamur fari, quo sanguine cretus
(Good blood always shows itself)
Sine timore, alis volat propriis
(Without fear, she flies on her own wings)
Aut favore; audax at fidelis
(Or favour; bold but faithful)
Salve, Regina, ad victor spolia
(Hail, Queen, to the victor go the spoils)
Vivat Regina, ad astra per aspera
(Long live the Queen, through adversity to the stars)
The lady in waiting
A Queen in the making
It’s all for the taking
They can’t keep her down
Oh lady in waiting
Don’t give up the fight
It’s your divine right
To wear the crown
