MORTAL COMBAT
It is because you were my friend,
I fought you as the devil fights.
Whatever fortune God may send,
For once I set the world to rights.
I fought you as the devil fights.
24
For once I set the world to rights.
And that was when I thrust you down,
And stabbed you twice and twice again,
Because you dared take off your crown,
And be a man like other men.
And stabbed you twice and twice again,
Because you dared take off your crown,
And be a man like other men.
