lyrics

My, Your Decay

My servants are drinking my wine in the kitchen
Some gypsies are playing music in my garden
As my daughter is dancing
And some raucous peasant clapping

She’s yelling she’s in love with my head waiter
And they won’t care for no father nor master
They’ll ride away
And leave this castle in decay

She was a nice girl when she was thirteen
Her mouth is pretty when she quits drooling
She sings she’s free
And that the past is good for me, just good enough for me

Oh this kingdom is dying, it seems the jester is ruling
This mansion wide opened to all winds

But my legacy is more than that
And it takes more than scorn and screams
To sweep it all away

Cause you, smart ass, you probably noticed
That as a body I no longer exist
I am these stairs
That no one climbs cause no one dares

A pair of boots waiting to be polished
A crack in the floor you hear in anguish
This is my realm
Only me get to sing its hymn, its dreadful hymn

I am these leftovers upon the table
I am a leather whip hanging in the stable
When my bell rings
He’ll cut his veins, she’ll stand up pale and shake before her king

Oh it’s you who are dying and the jester is just laughing
When you’re slapped by the wind
Oh, this is my legacy
And it might take more than curse and guts to crush it
Both your feet are stuck deep into clay
You know you’re bound to stay
