How could he know so much

How could he bear such knowledge

How could he dare to write it in the plays

What is it shakespeare'd say

If he came back today

Surely he'd recognize these mortal coils

How do we carry on

Noone knows where they fit in

Noone knows who they are or where they've been

What does the writer mean

How do we play this scene

What didn't shakespeare know that we do now

Stiffen the sinews

Wear hardfavour'd rage

All history's drama

The world is a stage

There is a history in all men's lives

Figuring the nature of the times deceas'd

The which observ'd

A man may prophesy

With a near aim

Of the main chance of things

As yet not come to life

Which in their seeds

And weak beginnings lie intreasured

Such things become the hatch and brood of time

Oh

But the show goes on

On through the seven ages

That of the world must mirror man's

In fact

Here comes the seventh act

See how the mirror's cracked

Here comes sans everything for humankind

To capture the conscience

Of nations and kings

All history's drama

The play's the thing

The play's the thing

The play's the thing

How could he know so much
