Swapping the old liege out
for a figurehead with no clout
who's a puppet for change
and will mouth what they say
set the holy book down
it's an instrument of the crown
created to sway
and mislead as they pray
Down here in the dungeon
you can see all the souls who died here before me
filled to capacity
Driving on the same themes
the fear of God and guillotines
if it keeps the servants at bay
they're less apt to betray
tried to simply point out
all their plot holes
and instill doubt
to their nation of slaves
and they put me away
Down here in the dungeon
you can see all the souls who died here before me
filled to capacity
ambush on the front gates
escape is pending
its never or now
down the hallway
past the chamber
past the portrait with the moving eyes
hastening my stride
outside
in the moat water
using a reed to breathe
to move an not be seen
