[Narrator]
2
In the soft early hours as the day breaks
3
Shalim now makes his escape
4
He knew the king, though refusing to give it up
5
Was now effectively a little more than a sitting duck
6
He sidles up to the palace build on shattered homes
7
Scattered bones in the catacombs
8
[Shalim]
9
Upon dawn make a subtle escape
10
Taking bloodlust into every step that I make
11
Every breath that I take
12
Make a break for the palace outer walls
13
To avoid the main gates where the archers are
14
Rongon gone or not
15
It's the throne that will fall
16
Drop to the inner courtyard
17
Before I clutch grass with the palm of my hand, stand tall
18
Scope a king's guard at the corridor
19
Which I believe leads to the main hall
20
So I sneak behind
21
He hits the floor
22
And many more have gone along the same route
23
Sword stained red as I take them out
24
Can't wait to put my blade to the face of the tyrant
25
And make him bow down to the jade on my chain of my neck
26
While smiling
27
I've got to find him, where's he hiding
28
[Narrator]
29
Footsteps echo through the halls of the palace through the wall
30
He hears the faint scraping of talons
31
Too many gentle souls fall in the malice
32
One last lunge then light up the chalice
33
Only the sound of footsteps that ring
34
Only one thing that can make the caged bird sing
35
Only one way out, only one leads in
36
And stands face to face with the king
37
[MF DOOM as King Dumile]
38
No more applications for soldiers, all positions filled
39
The guards should've informed you that back at the citadel
40
Guards, escort this lad out, take his surname
41
Guards!
42
Guards!
43
Hey what's your game?
44
State your intent, my patience wears thin
45
Then I noticed a faint resemblance in the face and skin
46
Could this be fate or destiny?
47
I cram to overstand how this could happen for the best of me
48
Wait!
49
Likeness in the eyes is the moon glow
50
Knew this moment would arrive, but not so soon though
51
That perfect combo of caring, fearlessness, with a twisted ruthless
52
Obvious how clear it is
53
[Shalim]
54
Oh!
55
So here it is
56
Spare me your villainous charm
57
The mirror sits calm like a pause in a song
58
Reflects dark images raw
59
Makes the dusk more warm than the howl of the dawn
60
[King Dumile]
61
Sound the alarm!
62
The gong was sonically loud
63
Regardless of how it played out he seemed ironically proud
64
What evidence can make a guess be accurate
65
Recognizable at the craftsmanship on the amulet
66
With the jade piece, a rare yet familiar cut
67
And a custom design link
68
[Shalim]
69
You think I feel the love?
70
I conjure nothing but a sour taste, foul grapes
71
Not what the owl takes
72
Dumile face the blade
73
May fate be the judge
74
Suffocate your days of hate and shedding blood
75
[King Dumile]
76
Hold up, I'll tell you what
77
My reign is over, along with my presence, hence
78
A graceful exit, I'll leave your inheritance
79
Knowing one day you too will be consumed
80
By absolute power of which no man is immune
81
And he was gone, through a false panel in the room
82
Disappeared across the lagoon
83
[Narrator]
84
Scream now echo through the halls of the palace
85
In his head turmoil, struggling for balance
86
If his mother was compassion and his father was malice
87
Rain now falls by the gallon
88
Only the sound of footsteps in the halls
89
Only one responds once destiny calls
90
Only the purest of hearts stand tall
91
Only the wicked shall fall
92
A new king strolls through the halls of the palace
93
Head held high, the embodiment of balance
94
And the world realigns for the true and the callous
95
Through the looking glass like Alice
96
Only the victory charms outside
97
Only one man favoured by the whims of the tide
98
Sometimes goodness and peace presides
99
Sometimes that wine hides cyanide
