King Wiff Waff
My prince I hold fear of that look in your eye
Yesterday's maidens have seen it and tried to
Pretend that your words and your deeds they are kind but
The mask has slipped off and the world knows you lied
The jester has plotted his path through the court
He's noble of birth so his allies were bought
He cheats in the open and leaves us all short while
We crave his distractions, he'll never get caught
The world is on fire
Long live the Empire
The world is on fire
Long live the Empire
Your hubris is costly, we're out on our own
Sire your hatred is much overgrown
Your tentacles snaked all the way to the throne now
Your wayward autocracy's poisoned the tone
The world is on fire
Long live the Empire
The world is on fire
Long live the Empire
The world is on fire
The world is on fire
The world is on fire
The world is on fire
Old battles inhabit the shards of his soul
His wealth is off shore and his heart's made of coal
Contempt for the people whose futures he sold
His ideas are cancerous, evil and cold
A bonfire
It's a reverie
All that's kind
He will rip into shreds
And inside
There's nothing there
We are mired
In corruption and lies
Build a pyre
To the canopy
Take our hope
And watch as it burns
And it dies
It's on fire
We're on fire
It's on fire
We're on fire
It's on fire, on fire!
