The King has been Deposed
The king has been deposed
But he won't accept his fate
He thought he'd be reinstated
Promising pillows and cake
But his riches are all leveraged
And the bills are coming due
He bet it all on fame
And the red, white and blue
And he lied and he lied
and he lied and he lied
And the hundreds of thousands died
The colors have mostly faded
And the mind slips away
But still the anger rages
And darkness rules the day
And he lies and he lies
and he lies and he lies
And the hope of a union dies
The hatred is exquisite
As deceit rolls off the tongue
And the congregation worships
As the poison fills their lungs
And they die by fire
And the die by flood
And the die by the thing unseen.
But he won't accept his fate
He thought he'd be reinstated
Promising pillows and cake
But his riches are all leveraged
And the bills are coming due
He bet it all on fame
And the red, white and blue
And he lied and he lied
and he lied and he lied
And the hundreds of thousands died
The colors have mostly faded
And the mind slips away
But still the anger rages
And darkness rules the day
And he lies and he lies
and he lies and he lies
And the hope of a union dies
The hatred is exquisite
As deceit rolls off the tongue
And the congregation worships
As the poison fills their lungs
And they die by fire
And the die by flood
And the die by the thing unseen.
