Zeal

He ordered the arrest of the hottest woman in the town.
For an act of lust that defied the laws of the crown
Wrapped around and outcast in a place that was too close to call
She would stand trial for the degradation of her soul.

But she would not respect
Any judge who would burn down his court
She condemned our practices
She condemned everything she saw

She raged and shouted like
No one had ever heard before.
Magoo sat quiet
Unmoved by it all
He calmly told her
He told there was no escape
Until the hallows of the gallows and
Her grisly fate.

But she would not respect
Any bars or jail cell door
She condemned the prison guard
And all that went before.

They talked in hushed whispers
Under the golden arch
Could they kill the man with the
Man with the iron heart?
One tear down Pigee’s cheek
Would tell them all they need to know
About a love that had grown so much
But had come so low.

They moved with haste and surrounded the palace gates
What once was peaceful soon became a mob fuelled by hate
They raged and shouted and demanded that he show his face
Dissention was their mantra and freedom was their fate

But no brute or man of flair
With strong roots
Or stylish hair
Would dethrone the king that day
He stood tall in the old town square.

He said if you don’t want me
Then I don’t want you
How can you look at me
And still do these things you do?
Etu Brute but the daggers were put away
To wait for another day
As the great wheel turns.

Something so pure to him there were
But the memories all gone they’re all gone they’re all gone
Something so pure to him there were

But the memories all gone they’re all gone they’re all gone.
