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"
