The Sword

Okay okay okay I'll tell one quick story then I have to go Okay? Just one This is the story of a night he would never forget How his whole life changed when he decided to sit On the seat of the throne and he could finally see Good things aren't always what they seem to be He got a letter in the mail, quite excited It read "My dear good Sir, you are cordially invited To a dinner with the King at his royal palace Feel free to bring nothing But your wife, Alice He ran to his wife, "Alice, Alice! We've been invited to a night at the King's palace!" She smiled and nodded To tell the truth, she didn't care much about it But she went along with it and they soon would be Eating dinner with the King Oh how great it would be Two common folk getting them the chance of a life To see what it'd be like to be King for a night Think back to the theme (theme theme) Everything in life is not as good as it seems (seems seems) The choice is all your own Think back to the theme (theme theme) Everything in life is not as good as it seems (seems seems) The choice is all your own So they arrive to the palace and the King they met In a gold chariot And it made him sweat He said, "How could one man ever need so much If it was me, I'd be sure that there'd be such Stringent rules in place, we wouldn't waste a dime All this money spent on china, and food, and wine and-" "Welcome, please pick your dish And for our distinguished guest I'll grant one wish" Much to his surprise, the man started to ponder All his life's stresses and the King's squander "Honestly, your highness, it must be easy as King With the world in your hand and your signet ring You've never really done much You're not much of a man And you think you're so strong because of where you stand So if I had one wish, it would simply be To take a seat on your throne so I could finally see" Think back to the theme (theme theme) Everything in life is not as good as it seems (seems seems) The choice is all your own Think back to the theme (theme theme) Everything in life is not as good as it seems (seems seems) The choice is all your own So the King he obliged And granted his wish He let him sit at the head On the throne and they switched They traded places and the King breathed a sigh of relief But he knew the poor man, would soon feel grief He knew exactly what the man must've felt inside As he slowly looked up and his eyes got wide The look on his face Shocked was his expression At the very crucial moment he learned a pivotal lesson The man with it all can lose it in one second From a small gust of wind Or an act of aggression Hung above the throne was quite a sight to see (Oh My God!) The man ran home Crying hysterically Because a Fifty Foot dagger Was dangling In the air Held in place By a strand Of a single Horse hair That moment he learned and could finally see Good things aren't always what they seem to be Think back to the theme (theme theme) Everything in life is not as good as it seems (seems seems) The choice is all your own Think back to the theme (theme theme) Everything in life is not as good as it seems (seems seems) The choice is all your own
