until 4.29 - benn lyrics

[jennifer]
it wasn’t until 4:29, that vortigern turned his eyes to the castle
and to the remnants of the kings canon
now feeble old men
they quickly realized that their existence would be reduced to dust in minutes
of a breach of the castle’s walls
but this didn’t stop them. they did not mournfully bury their work
they did not cease their cause, no

instead, they moved their research plans into the sealed palaces
that were their minds, leaving no evidence behind
when the conqueror arrived, the old men
whose plans had rid the world off so many lives, hid themselves in plain sight
it had been decades since the last b-lls were flung over the walls
years, since the crows had fed, during the great escalations
it was the summer, settlers had claimed the futile lands as farms
and the fields surrounding the castle were laden with crops
as the walls were too high to mantle, and the gates were pitch black
the settlers didn’t realize that the castle was occupied
at least, not until it was too late

every night
a member of the kings canon would climb to the highest tower
and would stare out into the darkness
they were waiting for this moment. in the distance
a member saw the vague flickers and glows of orange light
coming from the fog. they were coming

he ran to the under-croft
and informed the others of the impending plight
the men were prepared. they left their belongings
walked up the steps from the under-croft
and set foot into the grand hall
together, they lifted a large stone slab
and placed it over the entrance to their quarters
sealing it with rudimentary mortar
for the first time in years, they laid their eyes on the king
who appeared to be almost vanished
his crown almost resting on the seat of the throne

in the shadows of the night
the men walked down the secret tunnels
and descended onto the fields
one by one, they entered the homes of the farmers
and quietly murdered anyone they found

when the army arrived
they were persuaded to allow the farmers to stay
to tend their fields

it’s how they survived, henry
it’s how they’re still here now, generations later
still loyal to the king they never knew
