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.
