To Kill A King

Church bells did chime the day
 My father died
 A king of truthful ways
 Poisoned by wine
 One of this court stole his life
 Upon the parapets
 His ghost came to me
 Revealing cause of death
 His brother's scheme
 Usurp the throne of the king
 Uncle, now stepfather
 Who defiles my mother's bed
 Reckoned by ghostly words
 I seek my father's revenge
 I shall lead them to think
 That I am out of my mind
 In truth I plot to bring
 Doom to this kingdom of lies
 A course that cost me love
 My bride-to-be died
 Thinking I was insane
 She took her own life
 The acting troupe hath come
 I scripted a play
 Exposed the evil deed
 To this court's dismay
 The king's assassins came
 But did not survive
 I'll have my uncle's head
 Vengeance shall be mine
 The queen doth see the truth
 Poisoned by dreams
 All see I'm not the fool
 As my sword sings
 I have come to kill a king
