DeeExpus - Chapter VI: Rex Mortuus Est lyrics

The winter sky was laden As he slowed in his carriage of state His senses taut as a bowstring Sinew and muscle cording In response to the unknown guests Halting the steeds Hailing him as a friend And offering peace There was nothing direct that would tell of the threat No weapons in hand nor deceit in the air The warning was deeper as they drew near Knowing they'd come for his crown They talked of the comforts within his exile Care he'd receive from the sk**ed infidels Placed hands on him, invoking sedation Breathing deeply, eyes unblinking, he screamed "I'm the king of everything That my blinded eyes can see I deny my regicide And I'll bring you to your knees I'm the king of everything My febrile fingers meet I'll not repeal, I'll never yield I'm the King Of Number 33" "I'm the king of everything My kingdom inside me I'm the king of everything The King Of Number 33" God save our gracious king
