[Intro Chorus]

An enemy contrived will turn us back upon ourselves

The youth they paraded, now they're berated

So is the will of the gods


[Verse 1]

Serpentine son, whose father showed mercy

One shade is reborn, one's legacy's ending

Before his eyes

Flee your burning home

Ancestry on your back


[Chorus]

An enemy contrived will turn us back upon ourselves

The youth they paraded, now they're berated

So is the will of the gods

Slaughter us and its tragedy

But we've been told by the deity:

The reverse is encouraged


[Verse 2]

Industrious queen, encumbered by passion

This man is your Mora

Your empire's stagnant

You've lost control


[Chorus]

An enemy contrived will turn us back upon ourselves

The youth they paraded, now they're berated

So is the will of the gods

Slaughter us and its tragedy

But we've been told by the deity:

The reverse is encouraged


[Breakdown/Outro]

Your end is foretold

Born a king

Is a man who has no drive

He's subservient

Born a slave

Is a man who has no drive

Break
