1679, hall of Versailles,

Louis the XIV is having a party.

At this court of betrayers and liers

wheel of fate's gonna turn anyway...



"Welcome to my home, again.

Enjoy your time..."



And through the darkness

candles, lighten the hall

like thousands (of) dancers

reflecting on the walls...

"Let's start the dances,

no one shall stand tall..."



Midnight time, in the hall of Versailles

greatest pleasure: a present for Louis

it's a gift from the ruler of Venice

"... Just a portrait, my daughter in it"



In a beating of the heart

the king fell in love



And through the candles

Louis starts dreamin' on...

Dramatic fancy:

the king has fallen in love!



Oh, Kathryn, through the candles

I can see your face...

Oh, can't you see?

My heart is bleeding, screaming for you...



For love or lust,

feelings or passion, who knows?

And through the candles

Louis starts dreamin' on...

The king is calling,

who will dare to deny?
