Royal is a color that I often wear on my tongue
It is a little blue
Mixed with few emeralds
And ruby gold
I hate to say that I wear it with pride
Because it often tastes bitter
And I sometimes wonder,
that if I take too much of it,
it will poison me in sapphires
and release my sins to the gallows
However, I know just how much
To take
Before it can kill me
Because i have been killed before
By thieves and knives and hearts
All too many
I have been guilty of
Treason and treachery and murder
I will not be taken away
By the one thing
That gives me my power
Wrapped around my fingers
A silk thread
Of silver and copper
I dance, i dance, i dance
Because if i do not
I will be killed
For royalty is a flavor i often wear on my tongue
Until one day my mouth is left numb
