A King and a Thief

歌詞

Being misled by certainty is like confusing pessimistic despair for wisdom* Said the joker to the rectopath thief Well its better the imperial abattoir he replied Onslaught and plunder Stains her thighs with murder Brutal c-section is performed The village is under siege While royal mistress gives birth Two biparous sons one is purged away Deiparous emperor to be The wizard vanishes Absconds into the sea Vicious steeds tread on Feeble mass crawling Everyone is dead Accept the other twin And the bleeding balatron As they row to safety Now a man, thy bellipotent ruler Has scorn and contempt for his Peasant brethren He will stop at nothing till His brother is dead For robbing the coffers And cursing the family name Everyone around him must perish Or he too is killed Brothers destroy one another Verbally tearing each other apart Feel it in their blackened hearts As they finally meet Starving the peasent steals to eat He is trapped and weak Begging for forgiveness at thy brother's feet I will spare your life at the gallows pole My hate for you will soon unfold The king and a thief are one and the same One steals to eat and the other for gain Crush your dreams, enforced pain Inflicting their father's rage Staring at their dying mother's face In his brother's now dead eyes, tears seal their family ties...
