Dead Meadow

The shivering king

Dead Meadow


From deep beneath 
a disturbing dream awoke 
the shivering king the wise 
of the land all were 
at hand can they explain 
what it means 

"I wore a great gold ring 
From that ring, 
golden strings 
Stretch from my throne to everyone 
I've ever known a silver knife 
caught the light in the hand of my queen 
I wonder will I be cut free 
I wonder is it me" 

From long dark robes 
soft muttering tones 
drifted and danced to the King's Mighty throne 

"the gold of your ring 
like the fold of your crown 
and a ring on the ground 
is a ring to be found" 

they don't know
