Verse 1:

I’m a servant to the king

I watch the nobility come and go

I listen to their tales of hate and distrust

Each trying to gain favor with the king

Trying to place their daughter in the king’s bed

Putting their son in the prince’s favor

All for a piece of a kingdom

Chorus:

Life with the royals

Those who rule the land

Verse 2:

Telling lies of misdeeds in the hopes of moving up

Building alliances with those in favor

Then trying to escape when their friend is lost

Hoping their connection is too distant

When the heads roll in the square

Putting a rival in the bed of the King’s mistress

Is sure to remove their head

Verse 3:

When all was lost they had to escape

To a far and distant land

They travel incognito through the country

Securing  a boat to another kingdom

Hoping their enemies loose the scent

For if they are caught then their entrails will stetch

Their head will hang from the local bridge

A song about the lust for land and name.
