King Kester (A Day In the Life)
Doves on the ledge break my slumber
Take in the morning light
Today a special prayer
My reign it ends tonight
So wise they can see it too
The wick of a spent candle smolders
My queen comes into view
Blue orchids sway in the courtyard
The smell of your perfume
Through war, I'm in love with you
Stage coach prepared for the journey
Through hills the horses sing
Crossing St Kilda's River
Wave of the Campsie Fell's flag
Close calls and attempts on my life
No surrender under the knife
Hell has begun beckoning
And raising its voice
I know now my time has ended
Campsie captain grips to my forearm
An alliance as true as rain
Gathered to celebrate my honor
To revel in my pain
So wise they can see I'm new
Ritualistic in nature
Genuine as time will tell
Bow my head to the godfather
Who blesses my future domain
Through war, I vow to remain
War cries bellow out in the distance
A chant shouting my name
Kester
Forgive my weakness as I age now
Our sons duty reclaimed
Close calls and attempts on my life
No surrender under the knife
Hell has begun beckoning
And raising its voice
I know now my time has ended
Doves on the ledge break my slumber
Take in the morning light
Today I let go of ego
My reign it ends tonight
So wise I can see it through
The wick of a spent candle smolders
My queen my time is for you
Blue orchids sway in the distance
The smell of your perfume
Through war I'm in love with you
Take in the morning light
Today a special prayer
My reign it ends tonight
So wise they can see it too
The wick of a spent candle smolders
My queen comes into view
Blue orchids sway in the courtyard
The smell of your perfume
Through war, I'm in love with you
Stage coach prepared for the journey
Through hills the horses sing
Crossing St Kilda's River
Wave of the Campsie Fell's flag
Close calls and attempts on my life
No surrender under the knife
Hell has begun beckoning
And raising its voice
I know now my time has ended
Campsie captain grips to my forearm
An alliance as true as rain
Gathered to celebrate my honor
To revel in my pain
So wise they can see I'm new
Ritualistic in nature
Genuine as time will tell
Bow my head to the godfather
Who blesses my future domain
Through war, I vow to remain
War cries bellow out in the distance
A chant shouting my name
Kester
Forgive my weakness as I age now
Our sons duty reclaimed
Close calls and attempts on my life
No surrender under the knife
Hell has begun beckoning
And raising its voice
I know now my time has ended
Doves on the ledge break my slumber
Take in the morning light
Today I let go of ego
My reign it ends tonight
So wise I can see it through
The wick of a spent candle smolders
My queen my time is for you
Blue orchids sway in the distance
The smell of your perfume
Through war I'm in love with you
