[Verse 1]
No man's a jester playing Shakespeare
'Round your throne room floor
While the juggler's act is danced upon
The crown that you once wore

[Verse 2]
And sooner or later
Everybody's kingdom must end
And I'm so afraid your courtiers
Cannot be called best friends

[Chorus]
Caesar's had your trouble
Widows had to cry
While mercenaries in cloisters sing
And the King must die

[Verse 3]
Some men are better slaying sailors
Take my word and go
But tell the ostler that his name was
The very first they chose

[Verse 4]
And if my hands are stained forever
And the altar should refuse me
Would you let me in, would you let me in, would you let me in?
Should I cry sanctuary?
[Chorus]
Caesar's had your trouble
Widows had to cry
While mercenaries in cloisters sing
And the King must die

[Verse 1]
No man's a jester playing Shakespeare
'Round your throne room floor
While the juggler's act is danced upon
The crown that you once wore

[Outro]
The King must die
The King must die
The King must die
The King is dead (Mmm hmm)
Long live the, long live the King

"The King Must Die."
