[length: 05:22]
[00:29.22]No man’s a jester playing Shakespeare
[00:36.56]’Round your throne room floor
[00:42.48]While the juggler’s act is danced upon
[00:46.87]The crown that you once wore
[00:51.83]
[00:58.66]And sooner or later
[01:05.84]Everybody’s kingdom must end
[01:12.55]And I’m so afraid your courtiers
[01:16.21]Cannot be called best friends
[01:21.15]
[01:27.89]Caesar’s had your troubles
[01:30.44]Widows had to cry
[01:35.30]While mercenaries in cloisters sing
[01:39.83]And the king must die
[01:45.88]
[02:01.48]Some men are better slaying sailors
[02:09.61]Take my word and go
[02:16.37]But tell the hostler that his name was
[02:21.15]The very first they chose
[02:25.32]
[02:31.26]And if my hands are stained forever
[02:38.33]And the altar should refuse me
[02:45.06]Would you let me in?
[02:46.03]Would you let me in?
[02:46.93]Would you let me in?
[02:49.05]Should I cry, “Sanctuary”?
[02:54.21]Oh-oh
[02:59.71]Caesar’s had your troubles
[03:02.22]Widows had to cry
[03:07.12]While mercenaries in cloisters sing
[03:11.74]And the king must die, oh
[03:16.39]The king must die
[03:18.62]
[03:23.59]The king must die, oh-oh-oh
[03:29.95]
[03:47.47]No man’s a jester playing Shakespeare
[03:54.85]’Round your throne room floor
[04:01.40]While the juggler’s act is danced upon
[04:05.63]The crown that you once wore
[04:14.35]The king is dead
[04:16.59]
[04:21.16]The king is dead
[04:27.89]The king is dead
[04:34.28]The king is dead, oh
[04:41.00]The king is dead
[04:49.85]
[04:55.30]Long live the king
[05:06.26]Long live the king
[05:08.35]Long live the king
