I come back and find my palace desecrated, sacked like Troy

Damn, he's more cunning than I assumed

While we were busy plotting, he hid our weapons inside this room

          Ebmaj7
I find it hard to believe that the sharpest of kings
         Ebmaj7
Left his armory unlocked

We wouldn't dare

Stop!

Brothers, we have company, and he's made a grave mistake

Left the weapons room unlocked, and now they're ours to take
G
Brothers, come and arm yourselves
          Eb               C
There's a chance for us to win
   D
We can still defeat the king if we all attack the prince!

SUITORS:

Where is he? Where is he?

Mercy? Mercy?

It died to bring me home

And as long as you're around

My family's fate is left unknown

You planned to rape my wife!
