(A group of friends and I challenged ourselves to write additional songs for the movie Labyrinth, this was my song for when Sarah summons the goblin king)
King of Goblins
King of Fools
King of gone and broken rules
Take this child so he may be
Somewhere far away from me
Oh, I can’t stand it,
Time is fast
When the present and the future past
Suffocate my liberty
And without this child
Will I be free?
(pause and music slows)
(music surges) Doesn’t matter I hate them both
With their noose around my throat
Goblin King, Goblin King
Save me from this treachery
Take this child so I’ll be free
To the land of goblins, filth, and noise
Take this child and its lack of poise
King of Goblins
King of Fools
I call you now
To break the rules
Remove him from my sight you see
For once in my life, I want to be free
(music fades and nothing happens. Sarah looks defeated and speaks to Toby as she puts him down)
“Oh I wish the goblins would come and take you away…right now”
