Heed Not

by DragonSkulls

Heed not the king that holds command,
that mock his peasant's wit with ruse,
dictating how to till their land
with reasoning that he so choose.

If by decree his power grows,
heed not the king that holds command.
Through his deceit, he overthrows
each adversary, keenly planned.

He'll seize the weapons from your hand
and claim it's for the kingdom's good.
Heed not the king that holds command
and steals the rights on which we stood.

His prince collects unrighteous gold
that's veiled beneath the kindred brand.
If lies outweigh the truths untold,
heed not the king that holds command.
