- All born to please to your true born king,
- Drowin' out the screams as his new born sings
- All born to please to your true born king,
- Drowin' out the screams as his new born sings
- Aerys II was a fine prince.
- He was thought to become a fine king, he had all the signs since.
- But as time crept upon him, his mind begot madness,
- As it grew untamed so did nails and his hair, he began to seek new heirs,
- But his wives never seemed to bear, his sister's seemed to be bare
- what was wrong with him? "is this what the new god's wrath is?"
- And Aerys was scared. He never would be again, he sweared.
- He must continue his family, the dragons were dead but their blood ran damn deep.
- One night his enemies captured Your Grace,
- he was chackled in chains and battered with rage
- He scarcely seemed scathed,
- until the days begun to number and his hope began to strain
- and his mind began to change and he cried with rage for his chance at his revenge...
- And soon granted was his wish and our king was at peace
- but dead was the prince and born was a beast,
- the dragon returned and it came here to feast, it brought fire to breathe
- and soon all his foes were enflamed on their knees...
- No enemy of Aery's was left unburned, quickly we learned.
- And quickly he yearned for more urns of fire to wield at his desire, to burst
- And the Mad King began his true reign, a new song soon sang
- And so our king burned all in his way, for new reasons each day
- Once because his seed refused to be laid, his wife burned at a stake
- Truly he was brave. He never thought of his grave. Only his flames.
- He stopped trying to behave as he did trying to bathe. Mad he truly became.
- And though war was coming, he just watch his fires burn away
- The dragons might be dead but the blood in his veins...
- And when a new king took the throne, he did not bring our king to die
- it was Aerys' knight, took his life, no accident.
- with the same sword he vowed to protect it with, under their gods' light
- Aerys thought he would be become a dragon, the fire ressurrecting him
- But his loyal Knight slit his throat, just so the king couldn't get the best of him.
- All born to please to your true born king,
- Drowin' out the screams as his new born sings
- All born to please to your true born king,
- Drowin' out the screams as his new born sings
- The Mad King was a fine prince.
- He never took his wife to bed, not unless his flames loved someone dead.
- And when he did, he left it red, and her screams were hard not to hear
- Even the kingdoms started to fear, the people knew despite how it appeared,
- that by blood right a mad man sat The Iron Chair,
- and that his mind state was a trait his sons might also share
- And indeed he had his heirs, but when he lost his life none of theirs were spared.
- And King Robert sat the throne, and began reign that was flawed, but fair
- But Men still remember the mad king like his flames are still there.
- Good or bad, there have been many kings, many mad, but Aerys was the maddest of them all...
- He lived to be a dragon and died laughing with the words: "Burn them...Burn them all..."
- All born to please to your true born king,
- Drowin' out the screams as his new born sings
