Merelda has been ruling the kingdom with fear and propaganda--in this song she tries to convince the young king that a kingdom at war is a kingdom that is easily controlled.
MERELDA:
What the people need
is a common enemy
to unite them under you.
What the people need
is a common enemy.
Doesn't really matter if the stories are true.
Tell them what they want to hear.
Tell them what they've got to fear.
Tell them danger's very near, and they'll be
putty in your hands.
Show them innocence at stake.
Show them sacrfice to make
Show them greatness for goodness sake
until every one of them
rises up with you and stands.
What the people need
is a common enemy
to unite them
under you.
What the people need
is a common enemy
doesn't really matter if the stories are true.
