[Intro]

Filth reigns in the heart of the wicked

Degradation of the flesh

You warned us all

Thy feeble shall fall

[Verse 1]

Crippled hearts

Disorder in the four corners

Ruptured sanity

Praised insanity

(Insanity)

[Chorus]

Philosopher

King of the stoic

Messenger of light

Messenger of the willing

Everything in it, everything about it

All the motions guided by the gods I create

Philosopher king!

[Interlude]

When a man sees his end, he wants to know there was some purpose to his life. Will I be known as the philosopher? The warrior? The tyrant? Or will I be the emperor who gave Rome back her true self?

[Verse 2]

Drown me in the waters

Cleanse me from the vile world

The gods favor me

Oh, let the games begin

[Verse 3]

The sun burns my eyes

Brings the hands of death

Pull me in the somber

Descend upon me

[Verse 2]

Drown me in the waters

Cleanse me from the vile world

The gods favor me

Let the games begin

[Chorus]

Philosopher

King of the stoic

Messenger of light

Messenger of the willing

Everything in it, everything about it

(Everything about it)

All the motions guided by the gods I create

Philosopher king!

[Outro]

What doesn't transmit light creates its own darkness. I am Marcus Aurelius, The Philosopher King
