lyrics

[1461 A.D.]
The masses have been assembled
come now, come now and bow
bow before your new king
come and see his new legacy
one of ruin, one of destruction
is this what you have always dreamed?
giving us everything we never wanted?
never seeing the right side

[To the King’s First Knight]
Bring the flood now
Open up the gates and let it flow 
Over everything, over everyone
Cleanse this land
Let us hear the cries for help
But your king will not save you 
Not in the end
He only cares for his agenda
His delusions of grandeur
He will not save you 
Not before he saves himself

He will not save you
He can not save us
Awaken great deceiver spread your lies upon the land

[The First Knight addresses the people]
He's blinded us all with his shallow words and promises
[The Knight addresses the King]
You’re no hero, you are not the savior to all
Speaking so elegant with treachery with a shit eating grin 
You are not as majestic as you think you are
In the best case scenario you will hang from the gallows

[I speak to the King]
Hung high on your throne of deceit
You wave your ugly hands around spreading lies as your people die
You can’t stop
(Stop, Can’t stop)
We are free at last

He will not save you
He can not save us
Awaken great deceiver spread your lies upon the land
For at last, your reign has ended
No more will you
(give hope upon broken backs)
Hold us captive we are free at last
(give us change for deceit)
