Child king

Across from me sat the new emperor, Hardly 13
And I asked him why he cried
No one stays around anymore, I cannot guess why
In my world they should try
I asked how loyal are your subjects
"Not" was the child king´s reply, "Rarely will they comply"
"I always search for new subjects, Still I´m loathsome to try"
"If they served me too long they would fortify"
Chorus:
"With all of my benevolence
There´s still no obedience
Or is it just coincidence
That everyone here´s indifferent
So I must move on"
"So I fear a dependence"
The Child King said
"Between my subjects and I
So if they leave me I won´t die"
"I always search for new subjects
Still I´m loathsome to try
In my world they should try"
Chorus:
"With all of my benevolence
There´s still no obedience
Or is it just coincidence
That everyone here´s indifferent
So I must move on"
And I asked him why he cried
No one stays around anymore, I cannot guess why
In my world they should try
I asked how loyal are your subjects
"Not" was the child king´s reply, "Rarely will they comply"
"I always search for new subjects, Still I´m loathsome to try"
"If they served me too long they would fortify"
Chorus:
"With all of my benevolence
There´s still no obedience
Or is it just coincidence
That everyone here´s indifferent
So I must move on"
"So I fear a dependence"

So if they leave me I won´t die"
"I always search for new subjects
Still I´m loathsome to try
In my world they should try"
Chorus:

There´s still no obedience
Or is it just coincidence
That everyone here´s indifferent
So I must move on"
