JAFAR
I've gone against my sultan, the highest act of treason
But I had good intentions, I did it for a reason
They'll kill me if I'm lucky, they'll torture me if not
What made me think that I could get away with such a plot?
It's not too late to bring it back, perhaps I'll be forgiven
But if my crime can help improve the world we all must live in
Am I not bound by duty to the people of this nation?
How does the golden rule apply in such a situation?
As a citizen, I think I would be grateful for the aid
But if I were the sultan I should hate to be betrayed
Whichever road I take I'll be incurring someone's wrath
'Til now I've always traveled down the straight and narrow path
Temptation may have beckoned but I always have resisted
But which way do I turn when the road's become so...
So

Twisted?
JAFAR
Who are you?
URSULA
A fellow traveler down the twisted path
JAFAR
Wait, I know you, from Sherrezade's stories!
URSULA
You think you know me, as others think they know you
But there are two sides to every story
I used to be the ruler of the ocean
I was benevolent and always kept my word
But my brother held the antiquated notion
That women should be seen and never heard
So he dethroned me then disowned me
And on top of that rezoned me
To the outskirts of the kingdom in a cave
Took my scepter and my crown
Though I tried to take him down
The truth and I now share a watery grave
The story lingers on
But the version that is drawn is
Twisted
SCAR
A pain I know all too well
The pride had never seen a more progressive king than me
Both lion and hyena lived in perfect harmony
I brought an end to what had been a senseless age old feud
I was prepared for anything, except for what ensued
My brother ate my heirs, my precious cubs and stole my throne
