[Verse I]
He walked our roads in borrowed boots,
With dust upon his hands,
She laughed at crowns and promised seas
Beyond familiar lands.
She called him less than what he was,
He never spoke her wrong,
And somehow in their quiet days
The world grew less unkind.
[Chorus]
Oh sing the King of Mercy,
Sing the Queen of Peace,
He laid the sword aside for love,
She taught the wars to cease.
Through fear and flame, through gods and fate,
Through nights the brave don’t sleep,
They built a throne of gentler vows
And swore the world could keep.
[Verse II]
She loved the salt, the open blue,
The promise past the shore,
He feared the day her heart would roam
Where crowns could reach no more.
But when the drums at last fell still
And grief had said its say,
She stayed—not bound by gold or law,
But hope that chose to stay.
[Chorus]
Oh sing the King of Mercy,
Sing the Queen of Peace,
He bore the weight of broken vows,
She taught him to release.
For mercy’s more than sparing lives
Or victories we claim—
It’s choosing love when fate demands
You answer hate with flame.
[Verse III]
They say he spared what fire had named,
They say she stood beside,
When whispers turned to sharpened tongues
And truth had nowhere to hide.
And when the people doubted him,
And cursed the cost he paid,
She held his hand and faced them all—
Unmoved. Unbowed. Unafraid.
[Bridge]
No song recalls the nights they feared,
The debts the heavens keep,
We sing the dawn, not what it cost
To earn a fragile sleep.
[Final Chorus]
So sing the King of Mercy,
Sing the Queen of Peace,
Of Khotso healed by quiet hands
When blood at last did cease.
And if the truth lies far below
Where only gods may see,
Let love remain the louder tale
In Khotso’s memory.
[Outro]
For crowns will fall and names will fade,
As all the world must do—
But still we sing the man who spared
And her who peace walked through.
