lyrics

The throne room of the King sat bare and empty
And in his bed did he lie and wait
The Queen sat dutifully at his side, expected as to be
And the princes waited, expecting an exaltation of his graces

He said, “You are all great men of courage
You are all great men of honor
And I’ve loved you all, but I’ve loved some more than others
But beneath the sun you sons are all sons of the Son the same,”
He proclaimed. “and thats why there’ll be no throne for any of you to claim”

“This kingdom was built on the backs of lesser men who’ll never see its glory
But men they are just the same, of the same cut and the same creation
And who’s to say that by birth we are the greater men? That blood should make the change And who should say it true? For at the close and the wings of grey, we all stand the same, in The same diminished way.”

The King rotted away
And the Queen took her own blood
The princes cut into their hearts with proletarian blades
And the king laughed as he spit out his last breath
