Duke Magnum daydreams his scheme :3
While he typically sings more jauntily his daydream paid homage to the otherworldly movements of ballet and the slow sweeping ballads that caress them. He holds his notes in the air for a lilting serenade. Based on Swan Lake. The wedding dress has many layers, not just black for his dark designs, but that we used to have to pick our wedding gowns to double as our death gowns since it was so common for women to die in childbirth. Though in this case she wont make it past the honeymoon, and it even more represents her mourning for his dispatch of her children.
"Imagine"
[An optimistic dreamy epiphany lilting through one scene of imagery to the next]
Imagine... Imagine? Imagine!
[rises like a dawning idea that he seizes]
Trumpets sound, the halls are bright,
A wedding veil, a vow tonight.
She takes my hand, she calls me dear,
Oblivious to what draws near.
Oh, imagine there, your throne is shining,
Draped in gold, so most divine,
Yet your foolish little darlings
Dare to claim what should be mine!
Oh, my dear, don’t look so blue,
Picture this, a wedding night, just me and you.
But what’s a crown without some strife?
A kingdom’s won through love… and knife.
Dressed in silk, my blushing bride,
Let them cheer, hear them sigh.
With trembling hands, you place the ring—
Oh, how sweet, you’ve crowned a king!
Hush now, love, don’t make a sound…
Your crown is heavy, lay it down.
Imagine our eternity.
Stories long told beyond the sea.
For love is but a fleeting breath,
And mine will linger after death.
Raise the banners! Toll the bell!
For the old reign’s funeral knell!
Here raise a glass to treachery,
To power gained, to destiny!
For love is wrought, but steel is strong…
And I was king all along.
Imagine! Imagine!
Imagine Me!
