2013 West End The Light Princess Musical - Amphibiava Lyrics
Song was written by Tori Amos and Samuel Adamson.
Digby: With this crown of reeds and crimson lilies, I name you Althea Selma Isadora d’Arcy, Queen of the Lake.
Althea: With this crown of reeds and crimson lilies, As well as swan feathers and tadpole larva, And this wee teeny china-blue-green thing, I name you Digby Ignacio Dylan Constantine, King of the Lake. King of our Kingdom, Actually Queendom, Actually our new Democratic Republic That I now name – “Amphiviava”!
Digby: Amphibiava?
Both: Amphibiava!
Digby: Here we don’t fight and stain The water beneath our feet –
Althea: Sweet water!
Digby: With blood As they do in those, those other places –
Althea: Those places –
Digby: In this oasis –
Althea: We merely swim In our crimson crowns –
Both: And fall!
Althea: Like this! Look, there’s minnows, fruits galore – A feast fit for a king, King D.
Digby: And this dragonfly is your footman – Loyal in Lake or sky, Queen A.
Althea: And this teeny china-blue-green thing Is your royal steward, King D.
Digby: And this lily-leaf is papyrus For your great proclamations, Queen A.
Althea: From this lily-leaf papyrus, In this safe place I now proclaim –
Digby: She now proclaims –
Althea: What’s mine is yours, Yours is mine –
Both: Ours is ours –
Althea: Forever!
Both: Theirs is theirs –
Digby: Yours: all mine; Mine: yours, forever!
Althea: Forever!
Digby: So come and join us here In this calm oasis.
Both: In the night’s dim light We glimmer –
Althea: And swim –
Both: And fall ...
Althea: That’s all. Amphibiava!
Digby: Forever ...
Althea: Forever ...
Digby: Fall with me forever ...
Althea: Forever ...
