Chaos Con Queso - A King's Tale lyrics
Listen Hear it all Of a tale Of a man Of the king Of his sins How he lived How he falls And on the throne Where he sits With his grip On us all From the West To the East With his teeth On our feast And in the kingdom on the fields of the peasants There were men who worked their fingers to the bone To feed the king's ma** addictions and treasures But from the dust arose a man, known as Jonas He said, "Men, be not divided in tongues," "This land is ours, we shall not kneel to a master!" "Do we not sow the same seeds as each other?" "Then why not eat the grain that's fit for a king?" But on the throne The king continued to enjoy all his luxuries With golden coins slipping through his thick fingertips His laughter echoing upon the palace walls "Lock the gates! There's no need for such pestilence! The people of my rule don't need my attention! It's time for revel, stand in awe of my majesty!" Replacing glutton for the needs of the plenty! Now Jonas had his mob of men And he said, "Listen now, my brethren! Because tonight we will fight for our honor!" We'll k** for our sons and we'll die for our daughters!" So by god, grab a sword, grab a torch! Take up arms in this struggle as we fight for justice! Want to fight for justice Then, JOIN IN, JOIN IN! Why delay? Let's not waste our time For the night is short, and the future is mine! I mean ours, and the time says His Majesty's reign is up YES, YES! That His Majesty's reign is up!" So they stormed with hopes held high With their swords and their flames to the sky And they fight with their lives on the line As they screamed, "LET US IN, LET US IN!" And now the king who wasn't known for his pleasantries Rounded the guards and then he ordered the slaughter "k** them all, but keep their leader for hostage For he'll be used as my pawn and example So at dusk, we'll take the man known as Jonas And from the gallows he will swing dead in the wind And make sure the execution is brutal As an example for all those who oppose me!" Who...? Who? Who opposes me?! Who? Who opposes me?! Who? Who opposes me?! I said, who? Who opposes me?! I say, HANG, HANG, HANG, HANG, HANG! Who opposes me?! And Jonas walked up the steps quickly His brow covered in sweat and pride And in the background he heard "KILL THE KING, KILL THE KING!" And he was met by the king in the most glorious of battles And with all his might he thrust his sword into the king And he ascended the steps to the throne And gently placed the crown on top of his head And his eyes turned red with greed And he said "It's mine... It's mine... The throne is mine... This is land is mine... These men are mine... This kingdom's mine..." "My men who have followed me Pick up your weapons again This fight isn't over He must guard ourselves against the pestilence that still rages outside! Do not celebrate! Do not cheer! For it is I, King Jonas Lock the gates! Lock the gates! Rebuild those walls! There is no need for such pestilence! There is no need for such pestilence!"
