[00:11.75] The scattered pages of a book by the sea
[00:19.46] Held by the sand, washed by the waves
[00:27.42] A shadow forms
[00:30.90] Cast by a cloud
[00:34.90] Skimming by
[00:38.85] As eyes on the past
[00:43.70] But the rising tide absorbs them
[00:50.00] Effortlessly claiming
[00:55.30] They told of one who tired of all
[01:00.40] Singing "Praise him, praise him"
[01:05.40] "We heed not flatterers" he cried
[01:10.80] "By our command
[01:14.30] Waters retreat
[01:18.20] Show my power
[01:21.80] Halt at my feet"
[01:25.50] But the cause was lost, now cold winds blow
[01:31.90] Far from the north
[01:35.30] Overcast ranks advance
[01:40.00] Fear of the storm
[01:43.40] Accusing with rage and scorn
[01:48.30] The waves surround the sinking throne
[01:53.60] Singing "Crown him, crown him"
[01:58.70] "Those who love
[02:02.80] Our majesty
[02:06.30] Show themselves"
[02:09.90] All bent their knee
[02:12.70] But he forced a smile even though his hopes
[02:18.40] Lay dashed where offerings fell
[02:24.40] Where they fell
[02:27.90] "Nothing can my peace destroy
[02:33.20] As long as none smile"
[02:37.90] More opened ears and opened eyes
[02:43.40] And soon they dared to laugh
[02:47.30] See a little man with his face turning red
[02:53.00] Though his story's often told you can tell he's dead
