To Kill a King

Church bells did chime the day My father died A king of truthful ways Poisoned by wine One of this court stole his life Upon the parapets His ghost came to me Revealing cause of death His brother's scheme Usurp the throne of the king Uncle, now stepfather Who defiles my mother's bed Reckoned by ghostly words I seek my father's revenge I shall lead them to think That I am out of my mind In truth I plot to bring Doom to this kingdom of lies A course that cost me love My bride-to-be died Thinking I was insane She took her own life The acting troupe hath come I scripted a play Exposed the evil deed To this court's dismay The king's assassins came But did not survive I'll have my uncle's head Vengeance shall be mine The queen doth see the truth Poisoned by dreams All see I'm not the fool As my sword sings I have come to kill a king

Across all of Persia did come a conqueror The one who cut the Gordian Knot A demigod and king, the great Alexander His strategy the world was taught To reach beyond the mortal chains that bind us all Was the beginning of his doom So learn thee well the lessons from the ones who fall As not to repeat history's truth

Is it forgotten the fear we had before Of the atomic sword Did we forget the lurking nevermore Behind the silo doors Have we embraced the fall of man Even though we said never again We are deep inside the lion's den Even though we said never again Is it forgotten the innocents that died So many wasted lives Did we forget that each and every night Can bring the flash of light Have we embraced the fall of man Even though we said never again We are deep inside the lion's den Even though we said never again Change Or hate will see us in our graves The future of the human race Is in our hands for us to save And the dreams are still inside my head Even though we said never again

The sands are stained with crimson rain Blood flows inside the coliseum Flesh bought and sold, the way of Rome A slave must fight to gain his freedom Fight or die Fight or die Fight or die Fight or die These human games bring gold and fame The heads will roll in the arena Just one desire, to win or die A gladiator's way to freedom Fight or die Fight or die Fight or die Fight or die Sacrifice to the gods Amusement of the mob No matter win or fall Still death comes to us all Blood on the sand by Rome's command The Emperor can grant your freedom So fight thee well, send them to hell You are the gods of the arena Fight or die Fight or die Fight or die Fight or die

Why listen to fools who don't have a clue About life in these new times Hearts so filled with hate, they think it's their fate Under god to kill us all Ideology of hate Barring us from glorious days We are living in the wake Fantasy of gods and fate There's so much we've lost, too great the cost Stop the pain, it's time to change Governments collide and innocents die For beliefs in mythology Ideology of hate Barring us from glorious days We are living in the wake Fantasy of gods and fate Come into the light No more sacrifice Chasing fairy tales Salvation for sale In the wake of religion Ideology of hate Barring us from glorious days We are living in the wake Fantasy of gods and fate Embrace these new tides Where knowledge of life Proves once and for all We're not ruled by god In the wake of religion

Covered by darkness of life Searching for the holy light Under the eye of the gods This is where we face our fear The blessed path is unclear Many a brave soul will fall Wizards of black sorcery Hid away this magik key Inside the bowels of the earth Guarded by demonic knights Talisman of astral light Even the righteous can burn Engraved with magikal runes Talisman of burning truth Power that maddens a fool With sword and shield I shall fight For the talisman of light Even if it means my doom

Beyond the veils negativity Is a place that I've seen Filled with dark haunting dreams Voices cry out to me blasphemy Reaching out from the flames Am I blessed or insane There's a void inside my mind Like a black hole pausing time Spirits come through Creatures from the other side That my thoughts have brought to life Visions of doom Torment or true creativity There's no end to the game You can drown in the pain Is this my manifest destiny Or a hand from beyond Whom in death shall I haunt There's a void inside my mind Like a black hole pausing time Spirits come through Creatures from the other side That my thoughts have brought to life Visions or truth There's a void inside my mind Like a black hole pausing time Spirits come through Creatures from the other side That my thoughts have brought to life Visions or doom

A dungeon of despair To punish flesh and soul You scream but no one cares Castillo del Diablo Within these walls the devil relishes pain A science of torture so cruel Demonic song of bloody cries so insane Inside the castle of man's doom Devices made of iron Eyes melted with hot coals Sanctioned religious fire Castillo del Diablo

It was the world Roman plan To conquer and expand All of Germania's clans Led by a great man would Defiantly stand Arminius was his name Teutoburg Forrest the place The ghost warriors oh so brave Laid Romans to waste for three Nights and three days The ghost warriors of the night Invisible to the eye Three Roman Legions would die Defeated in fight, Varus takes his own life The empire dealt quite a blow A message to all of Rome We shall fight for our homes No slave to a throne neither Body nor soul
