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'...)
