lyrics

I was told a tale
About a princess from the Kingdom of Fail
She went to seek the Fae
A royal visit that went badly astray
Seduced by wolves, or eaten by witches
The Kingdom of Fail and the promise of riches
The Sky will fall, the Land will be broken
The wrath of the Fae is such a terrible token

There came a man in red
He had grey wings upon his back and his head
The stranger made it known
He was a hero who could help save the Throne

The King said 'This will never do
We hate your kind, be off with you
We have no need for 'cubi scum
Our hero must be a mortal one'

The hero's blood ran hot
"I'm going to help you if you like it or not"
He waved his mighty sword
And went to bring the Princess back to her Lord

Seduced by wolves, or eaten by witches
The Kingdom of Fail and the promise of riches
The sky will fall, the land will be broken
The wrath of the Fae is such a terrible token

It took him just two days to find the princess
But as they tried to leave
The Fae Lord held them by the sleeve
"The King will try to have the both of you killed
If you can bide your time
I'll make sure vengeance can be mine"

The hero and Princess
Returned in triumph and were under arrest
Before they could be hung
The Fae returned and killed the King and his son

The Fae Lord led them out of jail
And named the hero King of Fail
The wedding was a special one
And soon the new queen bore a son
(That's me)

There's one thing left to do
I have to tell you that this story was true
But heroes love to roam
And so my Dad left and put me on the throne

The son of two, of princesses and kings
Benificent ruler with a new pair of headwings
I'll use my brain, my eyes and my ears
Reign wisely and justly for thousands of years
