Posthumous Fragments of Margaret Nicholson
The king slayer makes way for usurpers
Or so we've been told
Regicide attempt was a failure
Grazed the ear but pierced our soul
"AMBITION, avarice and power,
All have hurl'd
Death, fate, (darkness)
and ruin,
on a bleeding world."
You can't kill the king
You can't kill the king
Resurrected as the demon of greed
Can't kill the king
Can't kill the king
We're powerless when Mammon intervenes
Can't kill the king
Can't kill the modern mad king
"He hears them not - ah! no - kings cannot hear,
passion's voice dull'd his listless ear.
Monarchs of earth! thine is the baleful deed,
Thine are the crimes for which thy subjects bleed." (Percy Shelley)
You can't kill the king
You can't kill the king
Resurrected as the demon of greed
Can't kill the king
Can't kill the king
We're powerless when Mammon intervenes
He's the...
The Mad King
Martyred when gods intervened
Martyred
Mad King
Exalted by
Mammon's divination
"Ambition, greed, power have hurled
Death, fate, ruin on a bleeding world"
Or so we've been told
Regicide attempt was a failure
Grazed the ear but pierced our soul
"AMBITION, avarice and power,
All have hurl'd
Death, fate, (darkness)
and ruin,
on a bleeding world."
You can't kill the king
You can't kill the king
Resurrected as the demon of greed
Can't kill the king
Can't kill the king
We're powerless when Mammon intervenes
Can't kill the king
Can't kill the modern mad king
"He hears them not - ah! no - kings cannot hear,
passion's voice dull'd his listless ear.
Monarchs of earth! thine is the baleful deed,
Thine are the crimes for which thy subjects bleed." (Percy Shelley)
You can't kill the king
You can't kill the king
Resurrected as the demon of greed
Can't kill the king
Can't kill the king
We're powerless when Mammon intervenes
He's the...
The Mad King
Martyred when gods intervened
Martyred
Mad King
Exalted by
Mammon's divination
"Ambition, greed, power have hurled
Death, fate, ruin on a bleeding world"
