lyrics

There are no kings who we will not kill ‘til there are no laws which we have not willed. There are no priests, no scriptures we’ve read, that we haven’t burned to keep ourselves fed. Lift your troches, raise them high, let’s see the red that fills your eyes when anger breeds itself in love for self-respect and hatred of a life that’s led with terror’s cause. We will not sleep ‘til we are the gods that we want to be, no matter the cost. Fake or real: I do not care as long as I am happy where I am. No god has ever seemed to give me what I want. So please, just tell me why you thought you could call me yours, when there’s nothing I’d do with your name? You just bring me more shame. The cup I share with you tonight speaks nothing toward my will. Patiently I wait for the thee, the king I aim to kill. Betrayal’s not betrayal if I never trusted you and if you think I’ll spare the rod, it’s farthest from the truth.
