Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Three hundred years and I was told the beginning of the end And of the wealth of things to come in the writings of dead men A poet's muse, a demons roost, a line so paper thin A time when kings and paupers both would meet the guillotine A time of broken promises floating in the din The king was clothed with silken shirts, the poor had not a thing Where death it ran like a rabid dog, the plague spread like the wind The king would feast on such delights, meals fit for a king At times he'd take a servant girl and no-one heard the screams But thoughts of revolution they echoed in our dreams Oh, the moment, the sweetness of it all To sit in the lap of luxury and see the kings head roll There is no time to hesitate, tomorrow we will storm the gate The morning came, the soldiers fell for they were but a few The people stormed the palace then, a rising from the sewer A trumpet sounds, the poor rejoice, their lives to start anew A short lived comfort for we know a tyranny it looms For power takes the humblest man and greed it will consume Oh, the moment, the sweetness of it all To sit in the lap of luxury and see the kings head roll Tonight we drink, we celebrate Tomorrow it may be too late...
