Speaker A
[music] [music] Bring the crowd, ring the bells, tell them this will end me well. Sharp and steel, polished show. Everyone loves a proper joke. The king is smiling, so am I.
Speaker A
Funny how we both came dressed to die. Raise your glasses, lift them high. Let's make this one to remember.
Speaker A
Here's my final little trick. Watch the laughter turn sick. Every smile starts to fade. Every toast already paid. You thought the fool was yours to kill. I only came to stand until the punchline.
Speaker A
[music] The executioner checks the blade, never thinking plans were made years before the curtain falls. I've been patient through it all. Kings build thrones, I build timing. That's the difference between us.
Speaker A
Count to three, raise the axe. Listen to the coughing. Here's my final little trick.
Speaker A
Watch the kingdom lose its grip. One by one, the voices slow. One by one, the goblets roll. The crown hits stone. The court falls still.
Speaker A
Yet somehow, I'm still standing. Don't stop now, you're almost there. The best jokes always need perfect timing.
Speaker A
[music] [music] [music] [music] No more kings, no more lies, no more judges dressed as wise. No more cheering, no more shame. Only silence knows my name. Bring the axe to your parts. You've already played mine.
Speaker A
[music] [music] Who's laughing? [music]
