A King's Penance

Don't you see what you'll be? What is possible Set you free. When doubt runs the game The days are the same Fix on a worry Pass off the blame. Can't you see what king you are? Stepped from your kingdom Once too far. When the crow flies by night You're lost in your way You sell off your crown With the things that you say. What you'll be is gone Writing in stone. What you'll be is gone When day is done.
