The Man Who's Fouled The Throne Marie d'Atenveldt The revel hall is silent, the shadows growing long Though you may cause the Sun to set, you do not cause the dawn The trees have ceased to rustle, the birds no longer sing All nature seems to wonder at this tyrant of a King The hour is fast approaching when we come into our own You'll leave the ring and scepter; no longer foul our throne Before that fatal hour when you must meet your fate Pray gaze upon the royal crown - and think of we who wait. This cap of burnished metal is the symbol of a land Supporting all we cherish; dreams you don't understand The weight you'll find is nothing; too much, if Honor's gone: The burden of this Crown began the day YOU put it on. See how the jewels sparkle as you gaze on it, my lord: Each facet is a subject whose rights you have ignored Every point of light a battle that you must fight alone For many are the enemies of the man who's fouled the throne. And now you stand before us, the crown is off your head Look well upon your nightmares that you thought safely dead Look well upon your nightmares, they're gathered here today For they all stand before you, to take your crown away.
