about

Eh, I figured I'd stick to the weird for this round and look up some of ol' King George III's diary entries. That dude was mad as a hatter, y'all. Couple of references, a little nonsense peppered in, with a big crazy beat from a new toy. Also, yay, my voice is coming back.

Side note, I love this AI generator for the images. It's so wild to put in some weird shit (usually a portion of a lyric) and it pops out images like the one attached to this post.

lyrics

A Letter from King George

Not a victim of circumstance
Just a loser with a broken mind
Wrote a letter to the jester’s man
Washed away a sea of broken glass

Burn away the canvas
We are crossing to the house of war
Jericho is weeping
As we put your lover to the sword

Imagination running wild
Demons whisper sweetly to his wife
Bring her all the silver’s tithe
Is the world inside achained man’s bruise

Burn away the canvas
We are crossing to the house of war
Jericho is weeping
As we put your lover to the sword

Necropolis is raving mad
The wolf is howling at the door
A prisoner of 18 years
D ancing snake and stable hand

A light has risen in the east
A chariot and Golden Horde
Your king considers blue evil
And telling lies of vilest black

Burn away the canvas
We are crossing to the house of war
Jericho is weeping
As we put your lover to the sword
