Blade of Brutus Lyrics


"Et tu, Brutus..."

Face me coward

This is my declaration of war

The die hath being cast

The Gates of Janus split open

The Ides of March

Forsaken and bloody

Sink the blade into your tyranny

Cut out your sanctimonious heart

I may be condemned

For all eternity

Banished for treachery

The burden of your existence

I will usher in a new age

At the destruction of my own

Branded and accursed

These temples must burn

I am the vengeance

Amongst opposition

I remain steadfast

Unwavering disposition

Penetrate the flesh

Retribution in hate

No words of mercy

Shall halt your fate

I am a traitor

To life's existence

Hear now these words

Sworn 'sic semper tyrannis'

Chorus:

For I am He....

Blade of Brutus (x2)

In arrogant pride

I relish the deed

Dignity denied

I piss upon your grave

Prostrate before me

And submit to your death

Now the world will see

That a god still bleeds

I am a traitor

To life's existence

Here now these words

Sworn 'sic semper tyrannis'

Chorus

The glory of your kingdom

Crestfallen and defeated as your withered body

23 wounds of cold animosity

With this I submit your life disgorged and disembodied

And I will submit to no god

No man, no master from this wretched existence

Deny you existence

23 bloody curses

Discord amongst the senate

Destruction of the righteous

An undignified death

Summons you to your grave

Adversarial

Your life held in contempt

Denied a burial

No tears shall be wept

(Blade, Blade, Blade of Brutus)

If this divinity means life

Then cast me an apostate

Brand me the conspirator

An enemy of the state

Forsaken actions

But I bear no shame

Unhallowed words

I spit upon your name

The masses may sing

About your graces

Those that presume their king

Shall die by my hand

Although my life

Is soon to end

I remain the knife

That ends all sacrosanct

Sworn 'sic semper tyrannis'

I'll carry this to my grave

Extinguish now my existence

With this accursed blade

At the cost of my own life

And the destruction of an era

No more words can you offer

To stop the wheels of fate

History forever changed

As the plebs cry out in vain

Doomed sceleratus

Set their temples aflame

The die hath being cast

I stand by my convictions

And if I must stand alone

Then I shall prosper in their hatred

One will rise again

To sink the blade

Amongst the dying flames

Of another era condemned to death

My life now forfeit

As I submit to death

I remain a traitor

To all of life's existence

A traitor to life's existence...

(Sworn 'sic semper tyrannis'...)
