A Toast to Kings

Hear the clock count down,
Count em' one two three,
Royalty with a broken crown,
What's left of thee?

You once stood so tall,
But your regime fell apart,
So quick it did fall,
Stolen dignity and shattered art.

Your once towering castle,
Is now just a collapsed house of cards,
Was it worth the hassle,
To think forever wasn't hard.

Damage beyond repair,
Never expect perfection to be the norm,
It takes more than prayer,
To survive the storm.

You lived thinking you were right,
Through the eyes of vivid reverie,
Thinking you were the shiny armor knight,
Practicing exceptional chivalry.

Pierced by reality's sword,
Dear king and queen,
It was cursed in your accord,
If you know what I mean.

Life is more than gold and jewels,
Do you finally understand?
You have been ignorant fools,
So hang on to the glory at your right hand.

The time bomb's ticking comes to a halt,
Hear it start to ring,
It was all your fault,
Here is my toast to the king.
