Into the Light
Dagger hidden, poison needles in her hair
No assassin needed, she's already there
The King feels safe, with only her in sight
She comes out of the shadows, and into the light
She's the only one who can bring the kingdom down
Long live the King, til he's buried in the ground
Buried in the ground, but things don't go as planned
A search for another, as agents scour the land
Nothing is ever clear with men walking the earth
Royalty dependent on a direct line of birth
An unassuming brother who's been staying out of sight
He comes out of the shadows, and into the light
She's the only one who can bring the kingdom down
She creeps into his bedroom, not making a sound
She stabs her dagger into an empty bed
A sword runs through her, the wicked wench is dead
Long live the King, he's made it through the night
Out of the shadows, and into the light
No assassin needed, she's already there
The King feels safe, with only her in sight
She comes out of the shadows, and into the light
She's the only one who can bring the kingdom down
Long live the King, til he's buried in the ground
Buried in the ground, but things don't go as planned
A search for another, as agents scour the land
Nothing is ever clear with men walking the earth
Royalty dependent on a direct line of birth
An unassuming brother who's been staying out of sight
He comes out of the shadows, and into the light
She's the only one who can bring the kingdom down
She creeps into his bedroom, not making a sound
She stabs her dagger into an empty bed
A sword runs through her, the wicked wench is dead
Long live the King, he's made it through the night
Out of the shadows, and into the light

Author's Note
I picture this as a tale being read by a little girl, who decides to be an assassin, and she lives more of the tale than she planned on. Decided not to write the story as my wife tells me it's to dark for me. Can't argue when she's right.
