Once Upon A Wall
See me go
You don't want to
Kingly in my golden days
See me go
You won't want to
Leave my kingdom in a daze
My crown fell
It cracked when it hit the base
A long way down, it fell
Jack on a hill, it felt
But my name is of another
Pushed to the edge, arms swinging, aiming for balance
By my brother
My men, come save me!
Thwart his plans!
He has been the plague of my land!
The scourge of my sleep!
The wolf to my sheep!!
Me and him
We see, taste, feel, his victory
It's music mixing and mastering the wind in my ear
He cracks his mouth open to show his cracked teeth
Crooked smile
He smells my fear
My desperation, been falling for a mile
I hear hooves but it's too late
My fall already took place
Into coat Brutus slides a note
Denoting my death as preplanned.
I was always fragile as an egg
My name isn't Jack but I cracked my head
All of my horses and all of my men
Couldn't put their king back together again.
But there will be a day when dear Brutus will fall.
I will watch and wait, because the thrill is all
Vengeance served by anothers hand.
Then will they see how dear brother dumped me.
And all will remember the great king
Humpty.
