The Clank and Spanish Prophecy
(Viva la Vida)

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the world
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

It used to be so nice
Feel the love in my citizen’s eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
“Now the old king is dead! Long live the Queen!”

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were smithereens
And I discovered that my Empire stands
Was all piles of rock and ruins of sand

I hear clank soldiers’ gears a grinding
Spanish cavalry troops a riding
Be my mirror, my spear and shield
My soldiers holding down the last field

For some reason I can’t explain
Once they came there was never
Never a joyous soul
And that was when we ruled the world

It was wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let them in
Shattered windows and the sound of guns
People couldn’t believe what had just come

Imperial council waits
For their heads on a silver plate
But instead faced down a lot of guns
Oh who could ever foreseen

I hear clank soldiers’ gears a grinding
Spanish cavalry troops a riding
Be my mirror, my spear and shield
My soldiers holding down the last field

For some reason I can’t explain
I know the Fae will call my name
Never a joyous soul
And that was when we ruled the world

(repeat last two verses)

O Potato
(O Canada)

Oh potato
My round and starchy friend
True sparky fear
In all thy gods command.

With a loaded gun
To the clouds we rise
In Heaven we will see

From far and wide
Oh potato, our iron sights will see
God sees our gun
Our safety's off

Oh potato we set our sights on He
Oh potato will leave our mark on He

[Bacon]

Song of the Earth
(Mushroom Song)

Sing of the earth of the land of plenty
Deep is the roll of the ancient drum
Praise be to they of her rhythm’s sentry
Pale, dark spirits, one and one

Life is the voice of the song of dreaming
Light are the notes that will make her fill
Dark is the dancing of death’s redeeming
Mark that one misstep can kill

Sing
Passion of your dreams
In some will awake
Nothing’s as it seems
Iron bonds can break
Hearts can be set free
Wrongs can be made right
Sleep and death will be
Music in the night
Sleep will be
Music in the night
Death will be
Music in the night

The Butterfly Queen
(Original work)

Each morning the sun awakes in the east
To bathe Her head in its light
With a crown of sun-gold
And a household so old
The Butterfly Queen takes Her throne

All hail the Butterfly Queen
In her land does justice aboun’
Long live the Butterfly Queen
So fair is she who wears the crown

[Bacon]

The Great Hunt
(Seven Nation Army)

I'm gonna fight 'em all
A seven nation army marching at my back
We're gonna kill 'em all
We're gonna fight to get the princess back
And we're marching through the mountain snow because we can't permit
Her to be taken by those undead shits

And the message coming from our eyes says leave her alone!

Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got an excuse to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the dumbest pell
And if I catch you coming back my way I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear, but that's what I'll do

And the feeling coming from my bones it says get her back home

We're going to Switzerland
Far from home to return never more
We're gonna work the hills
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
You'll be pleading, you'll be pleading, you'll be pleading right before my sword
All these words are gonna come from me until you're all no more
And the stains darkening the snow tell me go back home
