Legacy of Tyrants Lyrics

Album: Baroque

Starting very near with the Reichsprotektor

Butcher of Prague, Hangman of the Jews

Adamant and beautiful, greatest of his kin

Triumphant inferno of desolating thoughts

The perfect tragic hero became the horrid villain:

the Heymlich’s barrel organ playing tunes of war

while the blond beast marched steady to his death

as the Anthropoid Czech got his revenge

What there is to say with this you ask, a simple example?

Humanity is rotten to its deep dark core

Thirsty for blood

Impaler Dracul

None cares -  but everyone in fact does

The balance shifts - freeing thoughts of dominance

Seeking for freedom - the cage grows even smaller

Remember very well - what it means to be a tyrant

Fellow human men

Grow on dead bones

None cares -  but everyone in fact does

The balance shifts - freeing thoughts of dominance

Seeking for freedom - the cage grows even smaller

Remember very well - To fear your own soul

Legacy of War

Death and blood

Examine this past

Learn to distrust

Create  the world anew

New rules, no lords

The great Alexander from the dynasty of Argead

Son of Philuppus, Basileus of the Macedonas

Divide et Impera he took it to heart

And journeyeth to india, submitting all the land

The ends of the world and the great outer seas

Mere things to be conquered by him

But he was only human, and human after all

He died in Babylonia comatose and alone



Gather all the pieces and create a solemn council

It’s time to reckon how much we must change

Abandon the old ways, accept the new methods

Deliverance at hand, we cannot wait longer

If we are to be saved, we need to plan ahead

To avoid impending doom, we know what to do

The legacy of tyrants must be forgotten

And we are to be the agents

Of its fall

Impaler Dracul

Legacy Ov Tyrants,

Deconstructing power
