Listen children, gather near
You're about to hear
Of the folly of Man Though we bravely try
Tears well up in our eyes
For the telling is sad Oh, the King of Humble never wore a crown
Good and kind to all his people
Still he is renowned The other kings with all their might
Couldn't stand up to his light
So they plotted and planned Sent in their evil spies, spread fear, demoralize
And the panic began Oh, the King of Humble addressed the crowd:
"Keep your faith in times of trouble, I won't let you down"
"No, I won't abandon you...keep your faith" A traitor opened up the gates while most were fast asleep
The Castle-guard, caught unaware, were taken easily
Flaming arrows filled the sky, set fire to everything
The few of us still left alive, we went to find the King He said: "Lay down those make-shift swords"
"You can't hope to face these hordes"
"Escape while you can" When we were safely out
We made a final count
But we were missing a man Oh, the King of Humble, he stood his ground
All alone and outnumbered
It was us who let him down We let him down
We let him down
And we will never see his likeness again
Let him down....
