[Intro]
2
They're sellswords
3
We're willing to use blood magic to put you on the throne, but we're not willing to pay men to fight? I've never heard of visions and prophecies winning a war. Soldiers win wars. Soldiers on the ground. It's dirty on the ground
4
[Verse 1]
5
The night is dark and it's full of terrors
6
Where your heart, nigga, where your courage?
7
I was buildin' with the older guy, he said you act like you know it all
8
All praise to one true God
9
How you know if you alive if you don't got a few scars?
10
These cowards in power enforcin' these new laws
11
No respect for the poor people fightin' they wars
12
When I pull out my sword, put away lemon cake cutters
13
Keep my blade covered with the blood of the fakes
14
So just take daughters and they kill fathers and they rape mothers
15
They just make lovers out of their brothers for the great other
16
And it's dirty on the ground
17
Half of Flea Bottom never balls to the brown
18
Say it's all for the gold when the poachers come around
19
You can smell the dead way before the vultures come around
20
Soldiers comin' back after the battle
21
Still gotta face the fear of the unknown
22
Daughters and they sons grown
23
Then they gotta explain why they been gone
24
Took a man from his family just to get home
25
[Hook]
26
Lord of light to ya'll
27
Lord of the light
28
Lord of light to ya'll
29
Lord of the light
30
Let's go, let's
31
[Verse 2]
32
Shadows are created by the light
33
So that's when we fight for our freedom
34
That's the battle for our lives
35
We stickin' out our tongue, we never fight
36
This why the arguments of the day is the violence of the night
37
Respect and fear ain't the same so they get it confused
38
See the vision when you're starin' in the flame
39
In this game of thrones, when you win you still lose
40
Cause your evil get a say when they chearin' your name
41
And they prayin' on your weakness
42
Cause they playin for keepers
43
And they slayin' all your leaders
44
Now your people face disease and famine
45
And fuck the king cause we famished
46
That's why the brothers that I roll with don't be waving no banners
47
Warriors for the cause and we raisin' a family
48
And when it's time to exact revenge
49
Have a son, come back from the dead
50
Look to the light yo
51
The protector of the realm and the citadel
52
Living in squalor while the rich people livin' well
53
I'm seein' they enjoying they seven Heavens
54
Almost like they forgot about the seven Hells
55
[Hook]
