Hooded Priest Pt. I & Pt. II Lyrics

He never saw... their begging hands…
Begging for some food
He never thought… those begging hands…
Would soon form as an iron fist…

They’re hitting hard, those iron fists
The curtains fall for the first on their list

He never came… out of his ivory tower
Through he could maintain his absolute power
One day an axe will swing…
To make and end to all his sins

On the central plan, his strength will falter
All “his” people came, a gathering to see the fallen

A bleak old tyrant was taking control
His courtesans put a curse on us all
A rumour denied by the house of lords
Time will tell if fate follows its course

Bleak old tyrant installed his reign
Bleak old tyrant swept thousands away
Bleak old tyrant then loses support
Bleak old tyrant, this means war, a civil war!

The bleak old tyrant starts losing control
The masses stood up to reach their goal
A riot will end your stay on the throne
For your sins you’ll pay, cry and moan

Bleak old tyrant, what will you do
Bleak old tyrant, when you meet your Doom
Bleak old tyrant, you’ve lost control
Bleak old tyrant, I’ll have your soul

The hungry masses are heading to your castle
You better pray that they will give you a trial
Because you’ve got nowhere to run
Your downhill has begun

The hungry masses want to see you dead
And, yes, they will as they’ll impale your head
Cranium on a stake, it’s clear for all to see
This is a really the end of your tyranny

The hungry masses have invaded your castle
And, NO, they won’t grant you your trial

The hungry masses, almost starved to death
Have access to the resources you have kept
For your hollow life, you’ve lived in luxury
Until this axe puts an end to your bleak tyranny

Hey Bleak Old Tyrant, your world’s collapsed
But I can give you another chance
To alter your deeds or just re-enact
Sign this contract in blood, our devilish pact

Bleak old tyrant, into infernal decline
Bleak old tyrant, your soul is mine
Bleak old tyrant, I’ll clear your name
Until the bells toll, for your soul I take
I toll the bells for your soul I take!
