The King Must Die Lyrics » Elton John
[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 troubles
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, yeah
Would you let me in, would you let me in, would you let me in?
Should I cry sanctuary?
