lyrics

Chapter 77: The Great Heidelburgh Tun

Great cask of delicious wine
Built 'neath the castle floor
As a sign of the bounty of our righteousness,
As a crown on the kingdom's store.

Whoa-oh, Whoa-oh!
Guard your luxury!

Great wax of a class divine
Sought for appearance sake.
As they smooth every wrinkle from an aging face,
Does the face turn collectively blank.

Whoa-oh, Whoa-oh!
Guard your luxury!

Great tun on the monster's mind,
Promised and plentiful,
So take care with the lever on the guillotine
Lest you spill it on the castle floor.
