KINGDOM COME

KINGDOM COME The blood runs hot through royal veins Ready for the throne, and to finally rule But it has now to be a battle, not a duel What one pretender loses, another gains In muddy fields, many lives shall be lost To raise the standard and claim the prize Yet it is still kingship but in another guise It’s a pity the common folk bear the cost I’ll take the crown and hold up the mace Assembling all nobles who are true to me Pledging their loyalty as was meant to be But some might see suspicion in my face Ancestral claims should have the final say This powerful army makes it more certain Yet I’ll always check behind every curtain But it first depends on who wins this day
