  • The Human Court

There was a king
a player a queen
and the people
from somewhere

The king went wrong
and murdered his queen
cast by the player
who created the scene
that played him….
like a flute

I’m only human, he said
I’m only human, my friends
I’m only human, he said
he said

The queen was bloody
from toe to head
the last she saw
was the players scene
and the shame was burning
like frostbite and yearning

she said
I’m only human, my friends
I’m only human, my friends
i’m only human, she said
she said

The player had set
the scene that night
he knew the truth
and felt it right
to send them all
to hell and back
he loved his job

Ahhh

That’s the story of the player the queen
the people are mad from the awful scene
The towns a wreck
the children are crying…

We’re only human, they said
We’re only human, they said
we’re only human, they said
Ah
