about

"Regicide" is a song about the shameful way the media treated Michael Jackson during his lifetime and also the way it hypocritically dealt with his death.

lyrics

- Regicide -

They wallowed in the dirt
and garbled every word,
while suffocating the saplings of the honorable and pure.
They broke through every line
and fabricated crime,
while feeding on the agony that innocence endured.

Chorus:
They destroyed what they were too rotten to understand,
served the lowest, contemptible human demand.
They met goodness with vitriolic reprimand:
The greatest injustice ever done.

They broke a spotless heart
and keenly did their part
in fostering a world where negativity is rife.
They never tried to see
that virginal beauty
that shone through every facet of that solitary life.

Chorus:

Bridge:
What a fiasco, a hypocrites’ procession.
The cemetery crow whispers “Homo homini lupus” (Hobbes).
I don’t dare to hope that they will learn a lesson.
All decency was sold along with compassion.
