Under Command Of The King

[Intro]
So, it's a story battle you're after, is it?
Well then, Lord [?], have at you!

[Chorus]
Once upon a time - No once upon a time
No, you need to listen here - no you need to follow mine
Well I've got a tall tale - mine's told in rhymes
Mine's dark - mine's light
Mine's cruel - mine's kind

[Verse 1]
I've told tales in abundance and artistic epics
A story from me is no ordinary session
I've folktales and legends and poems and quests
My fables are famous all composed in my head
[?] advances and scares are as stories with yearnings if you're entering there
Chills and thrills that'll tingle your spine
Tongue-twisting parables that are simply divine

[Verse 2 - Prof. Elemental]
Well my tall tales can make a grown man weep
Make a devoted shepherd disown his sheep
I've told stories to no one on frozen peaks
I speak ancient whale-tales in the low down deep
My [?] tales turn nuns to demons
Each one at bed time comes with wonderful dreaming
Folklore and fables, I invite you to sightsee
Every evening I read from an infinite library!

[Chorus]
Once upon a time - No once upon a time
Well, you need to listen here - no you need to follow mine
Mine's full of epic glory - mine's beautifully sublime
Mine's dark - mine's light
Mine's cruel - mine's kind
Once upon a time -No once upon a time
Well, you need to listen here no you need to follow mine
Mine's full of epic glory mine's beautifully sublime

[Verse 3]
Once upon a time there was a wizened old crone
Who was assigned for a wizard for a king on a throne
No, the king was a prince and the crone was a maid
And they had a magic harp cast spells as it played
No the harp was a flute, when it played it created a doorway to strange lands of goblins that shapeshift
And to escape it the prince had to -
Fly away on a swan with the spells of a wizard that contained it
And the spells came to life in the back of beyond to conform that each one looked terribly wrong
Huge ogres grow speech with sharp teethes and fangs
And foul giant squids that can walk over land
Key monsters and fiends from the depth of the Earth
The whole army of creatures to unsettle your nerves
To usurp the spoiled king and his teller of tales
Which gave the professor a chance to set sail
He slipped out with ease when both were distracted
You should always be careful with tales of magic

(please god, ah, not a giant squid! That will teach ya! Get them my pretties!)
