Long Live the King

“Long live the King”
Somebody used to say so but the King is Dead
The King is Dead
Longevity
I guess it has its place and so the King is Dead
The King is Dead
I still believe
In moments before waking and when
Shaking the dreams from my head
“Long live the King”
Would mean that someone would _replace_ him but we say
“I have a Dream
and I’m Staying in Bed.”
