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
