SKYCLAD
"I Dubious"
(Steve Ramsey / Skyclad)

I am the king of all that I survey
Beware my son, it could be yours one day
Hier transparent to a dynasty
Dog-emperor of woe and misery
It sent me mad but now it makes me furious
I'm shadowed by a doubt - I dubious

Too many handshakes
Not enough sincerity
Promises of glass break
Spilling poisoned treachery

I'm a founding member of the Pessimist Society
I talk to my reflection 'cause I trust it not to lie to me
Jesus loved Judas, Judas kissed Jesus
Caesar loved Brutus, Brutus killed Caesar

I am the king of all that I survey
Beware my son, it could be yours one day
Hier transparent to a dynasty
Dog-emperor of woe and misery
It sent me mad but now it makes me furious
I'm shadowed by a doubt - I dubious

Playing noughts and zeros
On my Boolean table
We're warts and all heroes
Of this true-life fable

I'm the entertainer at the Bunkcupt Club reunion
If there's a church of failure I'll kneel and take communion
Wed to Delilah, shorn in my sleep
Sentenced by Pilate and nailed up to weep

I am the king of all that I survey
Beware my son, it could be yours one day
Hier transparent to a dynasty
Dog-emperor of woe and misery
It sent me mad but now it makes me furious
I'm shadowed by a doubt - I dubious
