Regal Zone
Monarchy Unveiled: A Chilling Tale of Power and Deception
Lyrics
Coronets rest on a death's head mask
Symbolic headwear associated with death rests atop a mask
No-one is safe while the curfew lasts
No one is secure or protected during the enforced restriction of movement
But crusted orbs glitter, sceptres gleam
Decorative spheres are covered with a crust while royal staffs shine
While helmets of blood fill the screen
Images of violence and warfare dominate the display
They look away
People avert their gaze
And then they say:
Following their avoidance, they justify:
"For the good of the land
"It's for the benefit of the country"
For the love of the man"
"It's done out of love for an individual"
Standing alone sitting alone
Alone in a position of power
On the throne of the regal zone
Sole occupant of the throne representing authority
Old limbs hang in the torture room
Descriptions of aged body parts within a place of torment
While old kings hang in the portrait room
Portraits of deceased monarchs hang
Their noble eyes gaze on the uneasy dance
Gazing eyes of former rulers observe the uncomfortable movements
Of the squirming body on the marble plate
Witnessing the struggle of a writhing body on a cold surface
They look away
People divert their attention
And then they say:
Subsequently, justifying their avoidance:
"For the good of the land
"It's for the benefit of the country"
For the love of the man"
"It's done out of love for an individual"
Standing alone sitting alone
Alone in a position of power
On the throne of the regal zone
Sole occupant of the throne representing authority
