An Almighty Thud

I lost my crown

When it hit the ground

With an almighty thud

I went to pick it up

And reveal my weaknesses to the crowd

And I lost my home

When I lost my throne

To a successor

With far more expansive plans

Than I ever did

I abdicated

You're the last thing

I want I'd love to stay here

You're the last thing

I want I'd love to live here

I sat in my castle

And I waited on news

From one final battle

That we couldn't afford to lose

And I whispered suddenly

My greatest fears to anyone who would hear me

You're the last thing

I want I'd love to stay here

You're the last thing

I want I'm going to stay here
