Lyrical Analysis of...
The Legend of Ugolino
- [Intro]
- "As I am a faithful man,
- and by the precious body of Madrian,
- I had rather than a barrel of ale
- that Goodlief, my wife, had heard this story!
- For she is by no means of such patience
- as was this Melibeus' wife, Predence.'
- [Verse 1]
- I'm whipped
- My life's pride has been stripped
- My wife beats me, I'm stuck in our relationship
- That's the whole reason I took this trip
- I love her, but she makes me cower
- My lover, I am the Bauer
- But I will stand up to all she encounter
- For she is my wife, I could not be prouder
- I know she may lead to a life of hardships
- But I'm lost when I'm not in her presence
- She may cause me to kill
- Which goes against my whole will
- With the way I wield my knife
- I could take many life
- I dare not stand against my wife
- All who do I shall sodomize
- But let's pass on from these gruesome rhymes
- [Hook]
- Listen as I tell my tale
- This is real, no fairytale
- Inhale, take in each and every detail
- My stories short
- But it's a great report
- Of a man wrongly tried in court
- Listen as I tell my tale
- This is real, no fairytale
- Inhale, take in each and every detail
- My stories short
- But it's a great report
- Of a man wrongly tried in court
- Listen as I tell my tale
- This is real, no fairytale
- Inhale, take in each and every detail
- My stories short
- But it's a great report
- Of a man wrongly tried in court
- [Verse 2]
- I'm honestly not sure about telling this
- "Sir, we must hear your analysis
- Show us your intelligence
- Your wife's thoughts, irrelevance
- Don't worry about the consequence.
- Tell your story, Mr. Don
- Break out a bottle of Chandon
- If it's great, we'll celebrate
- Tell your story, don't hesitate."
- I shall do my very best
- To tell of this manifest
- I have one, or two, or three
- I shall tell them lyrically
- I'll tell these stories of tragedy
- Concerning one who stood in prosperity
- But who fell in misery
- His life ended wretchedly
- The story is not very heavenly
- Which against my personality
- But if on this trip we must indulge
- In the way other stories are told
- I'll speak this story undisclosed
- [Hook]
- Listen as I tell my tale
- This is real, no fairytale
- Inhale, take in each and every detail
- My stories short
- But it's a great report
- Of a man wrongly tried in court
- Listen as I tell my tale
- This is real, no fairytale
- Inhale, take in each and every detail
- My stories short

- [Verse 3]
- The knight only permits a few stories
- So I'll tell one allegory
- Earl Ugolino, the count of Pisa
- Who left this Earth like, "Bye Felicia"
- Listen as I craft my story, like Ikea
- Earl was convicted of a crime
- The reason why is undefined
- But his arrest was publicized
- He was thrown in jail
- And his children as well
- They were innocent
- Yet they were chained; imprisonment
- They were fed minimally
- Hoping they'd be killed eventually
- That day was inevitable
- They searched for any thing edible
- One day, his son finally died
- He gave his life for his father's appetite
- But his father was dissatisfied
- He cried over his son's death
- He bit his arms in distress
- His children cried out, "Eat us instead!
- Don't waste your bread!"
- Ugolino fell in despair and hunger
- His family fell asunder
- They buried him six feet under
- To this day, we still don't know his blunder
- [Hook]
- Listen as I tell my tale
- This is real, no fairytale
- Inhale, take in each and every detail

- My stories short

- Listen as I tell my tale
- This is real, no fairytale
- Inhale, take in each and every detail
- My stories short
- But it's a great report
- Of a man wrongly tried in court
- [Bridge]
- We all experience downfalls
- Where were you when I called
- When I was lost
- What was the cost, of caring?
- I'm torn by my kids sharing
- The voices in my head keep blaring
- Don't worry about their hearts; they're tearing
- We all experience downfalls
- Where were you when I called
- When I was lost
- What was the cost, of caring?
- I'm torn by my kids sharing
- The voices in my head keep blaring
- Don't worry about their hearts; they're tearing
- We all experience downfalls
- Where were you when I called
- When I was lost
- What was the cost, of caring?
- I'm torn by my kids sharing
- The voices in my head keep blaring
- Don't worry about their hearts; they're tearing
- [Hook]
- Listen as I tell my tale

- [Outro]
- "Fortune cut this man away from his high station.
- That should be enough of this tragedy;
- whoever wishes to learn further details
- of it can read the great Italian poet named Dante,
- who has explained it fully,
- point by point,
- without missing one word."
