The King Must Die (Piano Demo) Songtext / Lyric

No man's a jester playing Shakespeare

'Round your throne room floor

While the juggler's act is danced upon

The crown that you once wore



And sooner or later

Everybody's kingdom must end

And I'm so afraid your courtiers

Cannot be called best friends



Caesar's had your troubles

Widows had to cry

While mercenaries in cloisters sing

And the king must die



Some men are better slaying sailors

Take my word and go

But tell the hostler 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?

Would you let me in?

Would you let me in?

Should I cry, "Sanctuary"?



Caesar's had your troubles

Widows had to cry

While mercenaries in cloisters sing

And the king must die



No man's a jester playing Shakespeare

'Round your throne room floor

While the juggler's act is danced upon

The crown that you once wore



The king must die

The king must die

The king must die

The king is dead



Long live the

Long live the king
