A castle sat upon a hill,
Like emerald city it shined
The king who ruled the land fell ill,
Leaving his two sons behind
Alistair was the first born,
making him the heir
Kai was the younger one,
though no one really cared
Kingdom come,
Thy kingdom's slum
He needed to be the one
On Al’s coronation day,
Cheers erupted from the land
Kai stabbed him through the heart,
His brother’s throne is where he stands A bitter tyrant drunk on
An idea of power he's trusted
It's all going south
The gold is all rusted
Now they say he's killing
The people he once loved
