lyrics

See the king, full of anger and suspicion,
Seated fearful on his gilded throne.
Hallucinating in his personal perdition,
Trusting no-one, fearing overthrow.
There’s traitors within and enemies without,
The faceless numberless, they seek him out.
Live by deception and die self-deceived.
The shit you sow is hate you reap.

Heavy weighs the crown.
Heavy.

He built his path on dirt, on lies and on betrayal
And it took him to the highest place.
Removing barriers, through threats or through defrayal.
Selling hatred and disgrace.
And all the buyers, are there to be used
As willing parties to their own abuse.
So throw him garlands, and chant his name,
This motherfucker wins again.

It’s not like we don’t know.
We’ve seen this play a thousand times before.
We know how this one goes,
So kiss your loved ones and prepare for war.
It’s at your door.

See the king, in his painted sandstone palace,
Seated guilty on his gilded throne.
Fantasizing, frotting, poisonous with malice,
Power corrupting to the bone.
No love within, no empathy without,
Unless you’re useful you don’t count.
So throw your garlands and chant his name
But don’t forget to take the blame.
