Death of the Party

Set the stage, present my case

Of how such elegance descended into disarray

Flash it forward to the epilogue

To properly set the scene

Shattered chandeliers, chinaware, and herend deer

Porcelain figurines

A lavish belvedere been now reduced to smithereens

(Such a tragic affair)

Back to the prologue there you are

High upon on your thrones

Vultures round the table picking at the bones

Of those from whom the labor bestowed you into favor

With the royal majesty

And as the champagne flows

Devious laughter grows

Abruptly interrupted by a tap at the door

Who could that be

(It's me)

I'm the death of the party

(Death of the party)

Tonight I'm dancing with the ghosts

I saved my appetite for this long awaited night

And my, you've been such gracious hosts

I'm the death of the party

(Death of the party)

Reaping grimly what I've sown

Rich and so delicious

And it sure beats eating alone

Jumping ship to take a dip in all the chemicals you dumped into the sea

I may be radicalized, but you've been cannibalized

And now you're no one just like me

My vengeance has two edges

A scythe, a butter knife

And now the king's royal decree

Declares a trial by fire

Stake me to the pyre

But I don't burn so easily

I'm the death of the party

(Death of the party)

Tonight I'm dancing with the ghosts

I saved my appetite for this long awaited night

And my, you've been such gracious hosts

I'm the death of the party

(Death of the party)

Reaping grimly what I've sown

Rich and so delicious

And it sure beats eating alone

Legacy shattered

Ground bones getting scattered

Into the weeping wind

Cast to the shadows
