Ruler of men
Brought to his demise
Can he speak no soother?
If he speaks again, brought to his heel sooner
Sigh as the final proclamation
Betrays its only master
The silence envelops you
Behold its savage lather
Here lies your king
Lain as he was fated
Cursed to be forgotten
Publicly demonstrated
Here lies
He who took the prize
Willing to sacrifice
All our lives
He was once without rival
Now the ghost lays idle
The self-exalted resting lame
Amongst the others who lost their name
The road to progress paved with grease
A power too mighty for his seat
The public a waste of time
"Bring me my ale and my wine"
Disproportionately resented
The majesty of the gut distended
The majority defended but from whom?
Here lies
He who paid the price
He whose greatest vice
No one could justify
King me
For lamentations beyond compare
For he
The ringleader's had his share
King me
Has he earned the people's trust?
An empire once so august
Now turned to rubble and rust
Rubble and rust
