Notes

Robert Hunter explained the origin of the lyrics of this song in Box Of Rain: Lyrics 1965-1993;

This lyric is a requiem for King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, a progressive and democratically inclined ruler (and, incidentally, a fan of the Grateful Dead) whose assassination in 1975 shocked us personally.
