Long ago in days untold
Were ruled by Lords of greed
Maidens fared with gold
They dared to bare their wombs that bleed
Kings and queens and guillotines
Taking lives denied
Starch and parchment laid the laws
When bishops took the ride
Only to deceive
Oh I know I lived this life afore
Somehow know now truths I must be sure
Tossin turnin' nightmares burnin' dreams of swords in hand
Sailin' ships the Viking spits the blood of father's land
Only to deceive
Living times of knights and mares
Raising swords for maidens fair
Sneer at death fear only loss of pride
Living other centuries
Deja vu or what you please
Follows true to all who do or die
Screams of no reply they died
Screams of no reply and died
Lordy lordy and then then they died
Lordy no then they died
Live and do or die
Long ago were days I told...Lord they died
Kings and queens and guillotines...
Live and no reply they died
Long ago were days I told...
Kings and queens and guillotines...

What is the meaning behind Kings And Queens lyrics?
When we examine its symbolic meaning, Kings And Queens by Aerosmith is a song which metaphorically talks about the history working in cycles and the violent struggles between the powerful as 'Lords of greed' and 'Viking spits the blood of father's land' are used to depict nothing but the power's vain quest and its' fateful outcomes. disillusionment, pain, ruminating, love lost, and empowerment is what the lyrics are made of. To add, the song gives a strong message of historical repeats of power and violence times, reincarnation, and deja vu, and even death and the certainty of mortality.

This song is so freaking amazing. This is tied with Livin' on the Edge for my favorite song by them. Aerosmith and Ceap Trick were my first concert. It was amazing. They really put on a show.

This song is amazing. If the opportunity arises, listen to it while walking thru an actual castle in Europe. They captured the desperation of the medieval times flawlessly.
