\"Is everybody in
Is everybody in
Is everybody in
The ceremony is about to begin\"
~ The Lizard King
And so it shall on this sixth of fifths
With all of the rumors, all of the myths
All of the rituals that you can bring
All of the legends of which you\'ll sing
And pile onto a great mound of gifts
Can you bear the weight of your lonely crown
Or will it all just be weighing you down
For you know where it is we all must go
Will your journey there be hopefull & slow
Best you keep that royal frown, those lips ... turned down
I saw the flinch, not subtle at all
One day the great facade will fall
When we know who it is in complete control
Of our floundering nation\'s wayward soul
Swimming as a salmon already dead, in a cold waterfall
I hope you are courage, I hope you are true
For the foe that is coming is nothing new
He sees through the weakness of one and all
And plots our demise as we withdraw
Places within us the seeds for a coup
Where are the great leaders of old
Who stood tall, spoke truth, and were bold
Where was the great man to bear your arms
Tending your coattails? Following your charms?
Doing the deeds he was set to do, as a slave to be sold
\"When I look back
I see the landscape
That I have walked through
But it is different
All the great trees are gone
It seems there are
Remnants of them\" ~ Olav V
