about

On December 11, 1936 at 1:52 a.m., Parliamentʼs Bill of Abdication received Royal Assent, officially ending the reign of King Edward VIII, who had reached his limit with trying to please everyone
but himself.

lyrics

I've seen the frontlines of warfare
I’ve seen defeat of the brave
I’ve seen the face of confusion
where there was nothing to save
I’ve walked the streets of depression
where workers can’t get no pay
and in the moment that i say that something must be done
they try to warn me to get back in my place

the king is dead god save the king

I tried to follow the fanfare
pride pomp and circumstance
executing every appearance
the steps of the political dance
I tried to listen to reason
be the ruler that the good people need
but if a king ain’t allowed to choose his bride as his queen
then tell me what kind of king can he be?
