Analysis of The Royal Crown



In the days of nobel breed
 A king sought out a nobel deed
 Through his briars of ivory tower
 Seeking a claim of further desire
 Yet through the green moss brigade
 A solemn vow to raise the dead
 What was going on inside his head
 The king then formed a committee
 For the right to display the royal crown
 Many who lived in the village square
 Suddenly drew near out of fear
 To bask in the vast expanse of the crown
 It was placed in a case at the theatre of the round
 The court jester amused the crowd
 A crowd that loved to see the crown
 That very day the king made a speech
 For everyone to come together
 Then at last he wore the crown
 There was silence then without a sound
 The crown royal on on display
 Everyone began to pray
 What a turning point for a brand new day
