In the time before the fall
before the setting of the Sun
before the bleaching of the green green grass
before the war was won
There were those waiting for a kingdom
a kingdom that wouldn’t ever come
But the great king had a plan
and his divine will be done
and saw this plan put into place
Of how best to mutilate his son
As pretty red ribbons fell from the clouds
and slithered like snakes down in the mud
They took down that famous scaffold
and sold off bits of wood
Spare 10 pennies for a relic?
it would save you if you could
Whilst he gorged up in his tower
safe from the raging flood
never to open his gilded gate
never did, never would
