Church bells did chime the day My father died A king of truthful ways Poisoned by wine One of this court stole his life Upon the parapets His ghost came to me Revealing cause of death His brother's scheme Usurp the throne of the king Uncle, now stepfather Who defiles my mother's bed Reckoned by ghostly words I seek my father's revenge I shall lead them to think That I am out of my mind In truth I plot to bring Doom to this kingdom of lies A course that cost me love My bride-to-be died Thinking I was insane She took her own life The acting troupe hath come I scripted a play Exposed the evil deed To this court's dismay The king's assassins came But did not survive I'll have my uncle's head Vengeance shall be mine The queen doth see the truth Poisoned by dreams All see I'm not the fool As my sword sings I have come to kill a king
