Skyclad - I Dubious lyrics

beware my son it could be yours one day.

Heir transparent to a dynasty -

dog - emperor of woe and misery.

It sent me mad but now it makes me furious

I'm shadowed by a doubt - I dubious.

Too many handshakes -

not enough sincerity.

Promises of glass break -

spilling poisoned treachery.

I'm a founding member of the Pessimist Society,

I talk to my reflection 'cause I trust it not to lie to me.

Jesus loved Judas - Judas kissed Jesus.

Caesar loved Brutus - Brutus killed Caesar.

I am the king of all that I survey -

beware my son it could be yours one day.

Heir transparent to a dynasty -

dog - emperor of woe and misery.

It sent me mad but now it makes me furious

I'm shadowed by a doubt - I dubious.

Playing noughts and zeros -

on my Boolean table.

We're 'warts and all' heroes

of this true - life fable.

I'm the entertainer at the Bankrupt Club reunion,

if there's a church of failure - I'll kneel and take communion.

Wed to Delilah - shorn in my sleep,

sentenced by Pilate - and nailed up to weep.

I am the king of all that I survey -

beware my son it could be yours one day.

Heir transparent to a dynasty -

dog - emperor of woe and misery.

It sent me mad but now it makes me furious

I'm shadowed by a doubt - I dubious
