The king and the queen have drowned in their laughter

Today the new court jester has arrived

And he'll tell you funny stories and dance a bit after

And help the king forget the revolution outside



Well the wars been lost and ??? they have won

As thousands desert to the other side

Your people pledge allegiance in the face of a bomb

And too many people have died telling other jokes

The king he cried



Well when are the ??? realise that your kingdom is crumbling before your eyes

Your tears have been streaming like blood from the sky

When you hear the children screaming whose brothers have died

You can murder in the name of freedom but you just can't hide



The moon is hanging high over the castle tonight

There's rumors of an attempt on the throne

The king has locked himself into his chamber

And the walls are screaming out "You're alone, you fool you're alone"



And from then ??? rides a horseman

And he comes bringing word of the war

He says "sire your armies are defeated

No people are fighting anymore, for your kingdom it ain't yours

And they killed your last soldier"

And the war is over

And the war is over

And the war is over
