Abney Park - Child King lyrics

rate me

Across from me sat the new emperor, Hardly 13

And I asked him why he cried

No one stays around anymore, I cannot guess why

In my world they should try

I asked how loyal are your subjects

"Not" was the child king's reply, "Rarely will they comply"

"I always search for new subjects, Still I'm loathsome to try"

"If they served me too long they would fortify"

Chorus:

"With all of my benevolence

There's still no obedience

Or is it just coincidence

That everyone here's indifferent

So I must move on"

"So I fear a dependence"

The Child King said

"Between my subjects and I

So if they leave me I won't die"

"I always search for new subjects

Still I'm loathsome to try

In my world they should try"

Chorus:

"With all of my benevolence

There's still no obedience

Or is it just coincidence

That everyone here's indifferent

So I must move on"
