1
No man's a jester playing Shakespeare
2
'Round your throne room floor
3
While the juggler's act is danced upon
4
The crown that you once wore
5
And sooner or later
6
Everybody's kingdom must end
7
And I'm so afraid your courtiers
8
Cannot be called best friends
9
Caesar's had your troubles
10
Widows had to cry
11
While mercenaries in cloisters sing
12
And the king must die
13
Some men are better slaying sailors
14
Take my word and go
15
But tell the hostler that his name was
16
The very first they chose
17
And if my hands are stained forever
18
And the altar should refuse me
19
Would you let me in?
20
Would you let me in?
21
Would you let me in?
22
Should I cry, "Sanctuary"?
23
Caesar's had your troubles
24
Widows had to cry
25
While mercenaries in cloisters sing
26
And the king must die
27
No man's a jester playing Shakespeare
28
'Round your throne room floor
29
While the juggler's act is danced upon
30
The crown that you once wore
31
The king must die
32
The king must die
33
The king must die
34
The king is dead
35
Long live the
36
Long live the king
