I might have been queen

I'm a new pair of eyes every time I am born
an original mind, because I just died
I'm scanning the horizon for someone recognizing
that I might have been Queen
for every sun that sets there is a new one dawning
for every empire crushed there is a brand new nation
let the waters rise, I have ridden each tide
from the gates of the city, where the first born died

and I might have been Queen
I remember the girl in the fields with no name
she had a love
oh, but the rivers won't stop for me
no, the rivers won't stop for me

I'm a new pair of eyes, an original mind
with my senses of old, and the heart of a giant
and I'm searching trough the wreckage for some recollection
that I might have been Queen
for every sage that falls, there is an ancient child

and I might have been Queen
I remember the girl in the fields with no name
she had a love
oh, but the rivers won't stop for me
no, the rivers won't stop for me

I look up to the stars with my perfect memory
I look through it all and my future's no shock to me
I look down, but I see no tragedy
I look up to my past, a spirit running free
I look down and I'm there in history
I'm a soul survivor

a soul survivor, on the river
