All Hail!
No Plagiarism!Fm3XRwSErmLCmpINxCa3posted on PＥNAＮＡ

Servant in the castle sweep the floors, as you must

Dairy maid, milk the cows, in the heat and dust

Worker in the factory, keep on working with mercury

Servant in the castle sweep the floors as you must

Farmer in the fields stoop down low in the sun

Butcher in the shop, you know how bread is won

Miner in the tunnel deep, mine on down where the dead air seeps

Farmer in the fields stoop down low in the sun

Sing!

All hail the king!

Wise one, strong one, all the power rests in your wing!

Serve humble, meek!

Speak!

Serve humble, meek!

Never let him think that there is more that you seek!

Keep your head bowed!

Now!

Keep your head bowed!

Keep on working, keep on working, keep being cowed!

———

His blood is rubies and your blood is made of filth

His mind is sapphire and yours is unskilled

His claim is all of the lands, your claim’s not even your hands

His blood is rubies and your blood is made of filth

He deserves the power and you deserve the gruel

He has all knowledge and you are just a fool

He deserves all victory, to him goes all the glory

He deserves the power and you deserve the gruel

———

All hail the king!

Sing!

All hail the king!

Wise one, strong one, all the power rests in your wing!

Serve humble, meek!

Speak!

Serve humble, meek!

Never let him think that there is more that you seek!

Keep your head bowed!

Now!

Keep your head bowed!

Keep on working, keep on working, keep being cowed!

———

This is the way divine

This is what God assigned

This is the way of truth

So call it not uncouth

This is the way divine

This is what God assigned

So bow your head with pride

Your bitterness do hide

———

All hail the king!

Sing!

All hail the king!

Wise one, strong one, all the power rests in your wing!

Serve humble, meek!

Speak!

Serve humble, meek!

Never let him think that there is more that you seek!

Keep your head bowed!

Now!

Keep your head bowed!

Keep on working, keep on working, keep being cowed!
