Far back in time, a kingdom flourished,
Its ruler fair and benign, he sat upon
a gilded throne, his acumen divine,
Until the day he sent his knights, on an
inadvertent crime,where they stole the key
to the vault of the Gods, on a raid for special wine.
Far back in time, a kingdom flourished,
Its ruler fair and benign, he sat upon
a gilded throne, his acumen divine,
Until the time of the wrath of the gods,
when chaos ruled all time, the key to the vault
went missing, a regular paradigm.
Far back in time, a kingdom flourished,
Its ruler fair and benign, he sat upon
a gilded throne, his acumen divine,
He sent his subjects searching in deserts,
Far and wide, the key is buried in the dirt,
The king is totally frantic he even built a shrine.
Far back in time, a kingdom flourished,
Its ruler fair and benign, he sat upon
a gilded throne, his acumen divine,
Until the day of the catastrophic event,
That wiped his kingdom out, and spread destruction
From the Gods, the volcano was a sign.
Far back in time, a kingdom flourished,
Its ruler fair and benign, he sat upon
a gilded throne, his acumen divine,
Now archeologists explore the land,
Thy search for treasure all, one digs in the dirt
and brings out a key, hear the king repine.
