Generate meaning
1
You came you saw you conquered
2
Built from a will far long in your blood
3
You enslaved, you lawed, you mongered
4
Spilt from an ill that destroyed like a flood
5
A story of pauper turned king
6
A saint by notoriety
7
And I played like the prince and bowed to your reign
8
A patriarch gone unquestioned by
9
A fist and fear that paralyzed
10
Every part of my being spoke foul of your name
11
I cried wolf to the armies to unseat your chair
12
And I prayed for the day your deeds would come to bare
13
Come to an end
14
No hope to mend
15
In order to survive
16
The King must die
17
The King must die
18
I have known since long ago
19
That you were the devil from down below
20
Kept silent for a throne I despised
21
So long betrothed to the waltz
22
For the sake of a crown I knew was false
23
And I prayed for the Gods to hear my cries
24
And I watched as you pillaged their hearts with your sin
25
I kept warm by a vengeance that would not soon begin
26
Oh heathen on high to think you would win
27
Get away with the crimes committed on my kin
28
Now there's no face for you left to reclaim
29
Only lifetimes of penance and horizons of shame
30
Oh father, no longer the ruler of chests
31
I have long laid my thoughts of forgiveness to rest
32
For I know the tyrant and his duplicitous ways
33
And there's no hope for mercy, and no hope for change
