The king sits atop his broken thrown
His eyes tired and beard overgrown
He thinks about what he did wrong
He's not surprised everyone has gone
He won battles and wars
He couldn't stop
He wanted more
And know he was left to mop
Up the remains of those who passed
The only peace was that they were the last
To give up their lives for his unjust cause
His only fear was hell's inevitable jaws
His palace now empty
Though they were once full and plenty
Of what you ask?
Food, nobles, and jesters behinds
masks.Though jesters were not the only ones to keep hidden
Into a poison apple the king had bitten
His trust in love brought him down
And drug his kingdom to the ground
Because nothing pure comes with power
The more you gain the more it devours
Everything good and light
You won't get it back by winning a fight
Now all our sweet king can do is wish
That he had better judgment on whom he chose to kiss
