The night was dead
you'd hear the dawn sing
the alley with the darkness shed
i heard of a plot to kill a king.
Not to much surprise,
the men wore disguise
no weapons visible but voices sting,
i heard of a plot to kill a king.
They seemed men motivated
no fear of death, liberated
but heated like a thermal spring
i heard of a plot to kill a king.
Precision and stealth they talked about
making their way through a secret route
their intentions evil, not a mere loot of bling
i heard of a plot to kill a king.
Madman you call me, my words you don't trust
waste no time morons, act should you must
i tell you not, the tales of fairies with wing
i heard of a plot to kill a king.
And shall if he die
you laugh now but will cry
kill me if you desire, come take a swing
i heard of a plot to kill a king.
You point sword at my throat
did i bruise egos of a dote?
go ahead, execute me of my suffering
i heard of a plot to kill a king.
And now i am encompassed
by the warmth of my blood
gushing out of the gash
as the numbness flood
my soul now rides a loyal sling
i heard of a plot to kill a king.
