The Domestic War

The Domestic War Everybody is dishonest your family too They scheme and manoeuvre getting an advantage My house has become a realm where The aristocracy vies for power giving the wrong counsel Trying to replace the old king Now the chief counsellor his right-hand lady has openly Betrayed him with false information The ruler could have her expelled or ban her from his high table He is weak, and the people sense it. Giggling hyenas ready to attack the living corps The monarch gets out of the bed call a doctor from afar The regent becomes a vegan, his strength returns He banishes the traitors and gets a new consigliere.
