Lyrics for An Almighty Thud

I lost my crown When it hit the ground With an almighty thud I went to pick it up And reveal my weaknesses to the crowd And I lost my home When I lost my throne To a successor With far more expansive plans Than I ever did I advocated You're the last thing I want I'd love to stay here You're the last thing I want I'd love to live here I sat in my castle And I waited on news From one final battle That we couldn't afford to lose And I whispered suddenly My greatest fears to anyone who would hear me You're the last thing I want I'd love to stay here You're the last thing I want I'm going to stay here
