Of Pedigrees and Ambitions

There is a serious conspiracy
They want me out of the aristocracy
Born a plebeian, I aspire to be a ruler
They cannot stand seeing my cup, any fuller

They come for my henchmen first 
Then whet, for my blood, their thirst
I am going down, think they, without a fight 
Remember my day will come, keep me in sight
