Lyrics
HAMAN:
Hail my king, I have to news to bring, that might sting the smile on your face
It's not so good, and it's rather crude, and may spoil the mood for some days
KING:
So what is it my noble one, for sure you know what should be done?!
HAMAN:
Yes that's right, I've the end in sight, but I'll keep it light for Your Grace, so hear the case
There exists one people, one people dispersed
And their laws are different, so different from yours
They're amongst your people, your people in every state
We better act on this before it is too late
Because with royal laws they don't cooperate
And so the only way is to eliminate
The cost of which I'll personally compensate:
Ten thousand silver talents to the treasury paid
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
KING:
Yes Haman it is done, yes you are the one in charge of this thing
Purging all the dispersion rivalling Persian laws of the king
This I'm sure that the silver's yours to make war with those who rebel
I'm transferring you my signet ring to do everything, in the meantime, farewell!
HAMAN:
The ring of Persia's in my hand
And Media's in my command
Come all you scribes and makers of the law
And I'll seal in stone this great war
