The Insect King

from The Insect Fable by Reverend Glasseye

lyrics

God save the Insect King
He sits under the throne
His little legs legs buckle and break
Cracked and over throne
The crown on his precious head
Withers and preciously breaks apart
Baptized in this fetid pool
on Reparation Day

And torn apart, off guard
on Saturnalia
He croaks his song helplessly
Mercy Sophia

And my pathetic hands
will smother him cold
I one labelled by the death of youth
the other, the weight of growing old
All hail the Insect King
Extinction of Imperial
Hail, hail the Jeweled Crown
The Godhead and mandible

And torn apart, off guard
on Saturnalia
He croaks his song helplessly
Mercy Sophia
