Novena - The Tyrant
What happened before will happen againYou will always be hollow
They will never love you
You will always feel
You just don't belong
You will make them fear you
Their lives in your hands
You will always feel
You just can't go wrong
Burn the city. Load the pyre
How I long to see the fire
Turn the tables. Break the mould
How I long to soon grow old
What happened before is happening again
You are only human
Born to be our ruler
You will never feel
Satisfied for long
Time begins to race ever faster forward. Will you become changed by your desperate fear of the
enemy looming out on the horizon, who waits patiently to sit up on your throne - with a sword in one hand and a red rose in the other? And will you look closer? What will you discover?
Victory? Tyranny?
We mean nothing to you
Someday you'll be sorry
Everybody runs
We just can't go on
As the pressure builds, and all the world looks to conspire against you - to tell you it's over... so?
You have no choice but to take extreme measures - to defend yourself and to rid the world of this licentious crowd - nothing but snivelling vermin ungrateful, unjust and so undeserving of your
Selflessness. Gentleness. Charity. Sincerity
Generous. Decorous. Virtuous. Saviour
Burn the city. Load the pyre
How I long to see the fire
Turn the tables. Break the mould
How I long to soon grow old
What happened before has happened again
