The King Is Dead

as he lay in the pool of blood
we heard a voice _
we heard the devil sing
and now the tyrant knows
the holy king _
shots howled out of the crowd
your king is what we need
and they all looked at me, they looked at me they looked at me…
light the fires with joy and sing
the king is dead long live the king
dance in circles ring-a-ring
the king is dead long live the king
the king is dead long live the king
but who knows what he will bring?
who knows what he will bring?
they gave the sceptre in my hand
to _ people _ their land
I moved into the town
to wear a crown of gold
each night I kissed another girl
I knew my soul was sold
_ court
the royal money got real short
all of my _
_ a new law to raise the royal tax and fill my bags
to fill my bags…
