What is it with us and kings
Belief in mystical blood lines
From generation to generation
Like plasma racism
Perhaps a need for something
Beyond our own fragile thoughts
Assurance of cultural continuity
Right and might in capable hands
All evidence to the contrary
Clovis crowned KIng of France
At Reims in 498 AD
A partnership of Frankish royalty
And the Church anointed
With eternal oil from heaven
Brought by a dove relative
Of the one who whispered to Mary
The oil anointed French kings
For 1300 years before
Revolution leveled all
And showed inhumanity and power
Were not limited to royal blood
