The King Must Die

[offset:0]

No mans a jester playing shakespeare

Round your throne room floor

While the jugglers act is danced upon

The crown that you once wore

And sooner or later

Everybodys kingdom must end

And Im so afraid your courtiers

Cannot be called best friends

Caesars had your troubles

Widows had to cry

While mercenaries in cloisters sing

And the king must die

Some men are better staying sailors

Take my word and go

But tell the ostler that his name was

The very first they chose

And if my hands are stained forever

And the altar should refuse me

Would you let me in, you would let me in, would you let me in

Should I cry sanctuary

No mans a jester playing shakespeare

Round your throne room floor

While the jugglers act is danced upon

The crown that you once wore

The king is dead, the king is dead

The king is dead, the king is dead

Long live the king
