We've got some news, good King Darius
We fear your position is precarious
There are some people here in Babylon
Who won't give you your due
They'd rather bow to other men
[King Darius]
Can this be so?
[Wiseman #2]
'Tis true
[King Darius]
Oh, dear
[Wiseman #1]
We've brought a solution of our own design
If you'll just sign this paper on the dotted line
It's an edict stating most concisely what we're all to do
We must bow our heads or bend our knees before no one but you
[King Darius]
I see
Just one more time, now, let's see if I've got this straight
A law to prove once and for all that I am great
If I'm the king, no one must doubt my full supremacy
So, from this day forth my citizens will pray to only me
Yes, but what if they don't?
