about

Sir Hugh le Despenser the Younger faces a brutal and public death in front of a joyously feasting party of usurpers to King Edward II’s throne. Among them, Queen Isabella, the “She Wolf of France,” and her dangerous lover Sir Roger Mortimer. In his last moments, Hugh comes to terms with his fate as the sacrificial lamb that will pay for the wicked deeds of all those surrounding him as well as the sins of his King and kin. Biblical verses denouncing the glamour of evil have been etched on his body. He is to be hung, emasculated, disemboweled, and quartered. The pieces of his dismembered corpse will be sent to the four corners of the kingdom as a warning to those who would corrupt and manipulate the throne of England. As he dies, he recalls a great many people and the events that lead him to this end….

lyrics

Hail to the King!
We live forever free
A house united by force divinity
Hail to the Queen!
She sleeps alone tonight
And counts the days until the time is right

I leave this life for you
This soulless gaze burns through
My treason whore is fate
I leave this life for you

I’ve always known that it would end this way
Drink in my lover’s eyes until they turn away
I gag on my last breath
Life spills onto the floor
This stolid gaze remains
And sins nevermore

I leave this life for you
This soulless gaze burns through
My treason whore is fate
I leave this life for you

I leave this life for you
I leave this life for you
I leave this life for you
I leave this life for you
