The kingdom

The kingdom

So the empire was overthrown

And so the queen crowned someone king

And so hail the king she severally she had to sing

So the kingdom crumpled as if that was not a thing

And so the empress turned on to foreign rulers

So she pledged her loyalty to a foreign man

And so she watched her own kingdom burn

Maybe she sold her children to work as slaves under the sun

And so her highness the princess decided to leave the family

So she ran away with some sly young boy

And maybe she felt for her charming toy

Maybe she forgot she was Helen of Troy

And so the kingdom was left ruler less

So every jack dick and harry could play

And every darm kingdom would trump on it like clay

Maybe the citizen burned the castle and the air turned gray.
