Lyrics
Tyrant
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Behold 'tis I the commander
Whose grip controls you all
Resist me not, surrender
I'll no compassion call
(Tyrant) capture of humanity
(Tyrant) conqueror of all
(Tyrant) hideous destructor
(Tyrant) every man shall fall
Your very lives are held within my fingers
I snap them and you cower down in fear
You spineless things who belly down to slither
To the end of the world you follow to be near
(Tyrant) capture of humanity
(Tyrant) conqueror of all
(Tyrant) hideous destructor
(Tyrant) every man shall fall
Mourn for us oppressed in fear
Chained and shackled we are bound
Freedom choked in dread we live
Since tyrant was enthroned
I listen not to sympathy
Whilst ruler of this land
Withdraw your feeble aches and moans
Or suffer smite from this my hand
(Tyrant) capture of humanity
(Tyrant) conqueror of all
(Tyrant) hideous destructor
(Tyrant) every man shall fall
Mourn for us oppressed in fear
Chained and shackled we are bound
Freedom choked in dread we live
Since tyrant was enthroned
My legions faithful unto death
I'll summon to my court
And as you perish each of you
Shall scream as you are sought
(Tyrant) capture of humanity
(Tyrant) conqueror of all
(Tyrant) hideous destructor
(Tyrant) every man shall fall
