Talk:The King Come Down/@comment-24828288-20150419170448/@comment-25477067-20151211005925

The king come down from the rafters, an inglorious, clumsy leap,

His breath cut short by the thick knot. The people crowded round like sheep.



The people didn’t weep for his blood,

His hand been cruel and harsh,

But they cut down their king, and disposed of him down in the marsh,



The king come down to the marsh, among the rotting things,

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman",serif">with the rats and bats and mealworms to take his flesh, his golden bangles and rings.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman",serif">The king come down to earth, his bones sinking down deep, with whisperings in his ears,

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman",serif">Whisperings of dreadful things, promises he had to keep.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman",serif">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman",serif">So the king came back, the king came up, dead hands turning to flesh,

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman",serif">The king come down to the marketplace, his throat once again drawing breath.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman",serif">And when the king came down once more, hobnailed boots striking up sparks,

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman",serif">The cobblestones scarred with fire and blood, the king soon left his mark.
