Abdicate Lyrics - John Garrison

I think my reign is over 

I think my crown has gone 

And I bow nervously 

And back off to my corner 

Cause I was in my castle 

Resplendent on my throne 

Surveying everything 

Everything I own 

But now 

I'm knee deep in the mire of my overthrow 

My robes are ripped and torn 

And there's you 

Triumphant with your subjects draped over you 

They all bow to you 

With a gun against my head 

I do abdicate 

Now the war is over 

A glorious new winner 

And I congratulate 

The plan you masterminded 

Cause I saw nothing coming 

Basking in my glory 

And I heard nothing 

Untoward approaching 

And now 

I'm knee deep in the mire of my overthrow 

My robes are ripped and torn 

And there's you 

Triumphant with your subjects draped over you 

They all bow to you 

With a gun against my head 

I do abdicate 

And I step down gracefully 

And remove the knives in me 

When all is back to normal 

When celebrations calm 

I'm watching over you 

Dagger in hand
