Lyrics

[Verse 1] No man's a jester playing Shakespeare 'Round your throne room floor While the juggler's act is danced upon The crown that you once wore [Verse 2] And sooner or later Everybody's kingdom must end And I'm so afraid your courtiers Cannot be called best friends [Chorus] Caesar's had your troubles Widows had to cry While mercenaries in cloisters sing And the King must die [Verse 3] Some men are better slaying sailors Take my word and go But tell the ostler that his name was The very first they chose [Verse 4] And if my hands are stained forever And the altar should refuse me, yeah Would you let me in, would you let me in, would you let me in? Should I cry sanctuary? [Chorus] Caesar's had your troubles Widows had to cry While mercenaries in cloisters sing And the King must die, yeah [Post-Chorus] The King must die The King must die, oh, yeah [Verse 1] No man's a jester playing Shakespeare 'Round your throne room floor While the juggler's act is danced upon The crown that you once wore [Outro] The King is dead The King is dead The King is dead The King is dead Long live the King
