Old King Cole (исполнитель: The Mechanisms)
Old King Cole was a [bad word] soul, and a bloody old soul had he He called for his mead and his gun so cold, and he called for his little pigs three Now every piggy had a razor blade and sharpened it with glee Oh, far and near, they all learn fear from King Cole and his little pigs three [bad word] Factories churn, bodies burn, Stars are shining bright. It’s your turn, now you learn How King Cole feasts tonight Old King Cole was not missold, of years he had a hundred score, The dark appliance of infernal science would give him millennia more And he would watch as the suns burned out, collapsing from their core Oh, never to forgive he would eternal live, his hands stained red from gore. [bad word] Old King Cole had conquered and stole the wealth of a thousand suns Surrounded was he by bodyguards three, who murdered for their sovereign’s fun Arrayed in armour black as ebony, it did no good [bad word] Whatever the task, the grim pig mask would tell you that your days were done [bad word] “In the centre of Zantine, capitol city of New Constantinople, there stood a vast palace. Cavernous halls by their hundreds were cared for by staff too numerous to count, while beneath, tunnels and passageways unused for a dozen lifetimes sprawled under the city like a spider’s web, reaching every nook and lurking place. Somewhere at the centre of this labyrinth, there stood a small, unremarkable chamber, roughly hewn from thick black rock, where King Cole sat on his white throne. His shrivelled frame seemed all the more twisted and unnatural on its ivory bulk, surrounded, as always, by the three little pigs: silent guardians who never spoke as the blood pooled on the floor before [bad word] The feast was soon to begin.” Old King Cole had a tale he told to those brought before his throne. Immense and white it gleamed in the night, the colour of sun-bleached bone. He’d whisper softly in their ear, the words were never known. None could tell what he said, save for the dead and the three little pigs alone.
