The King Lyrics - Piebald

The king he sat in a chair of gold 

and let life let him be 

his daughter sat by his side most nights 

to keep him company 

the wise man and the alcamist 

looked over the charts and graphs 

inconclusive, they're inconclusive, hopefully this will pass 

the jester said, i tried to make him laugh 

The party was thrown for the king that night 

and they tried to raise the dead 

the golden chair still occupied 

by the king's resting head 

the daughter danced with the alcamist 

and of course the wise man spoke 

the jester said, hey king it's time for a little joke 

no response, i think the king is broke 

some weeks have passed and his subjects have 

all but given up 

people were tired of forcing the king 

to try and live it up 

the morning sun and the alcamist 

watched the king make his first move 

the king stood up, stretched a bit 

said, i've got nothing to prove 

listen up, i've got nothing to prove 

and i, i just need some time off 

i need some time off from all of this 

yeah 

and i, i just need some time off 

i need some time off from all of this 

yeah
