Lord give me liberty, King give me lies
It only makes sense when somebody dies
When armies led by the sun's own daughter
Ride fast to victory and to slaughter
Then you know they way of the earth
It goes ashes to ashes and birth to rebirth
Call it renewal, call it revolution
Call it the next step on the path of evolution
Ruin the castles of the old kingdom
Lead us through to true freedom
Adorn thy elders with a sword through the chest
And tell the masses that this is what's best
Tell them that better times have risen today
Tell them it's new and it's better this way
Tell them to be quiet for the storm overhead
They don't need to know that betrayal means death
And as the new world comes into the light
The old kings know what happenedovernight
When the leaders were killed and children took power
Running the people from their darkest hour
It's happened before and it's happened again
But if only they knew, that way back when,
There lay the ashes, there lay the daughter
There lay the blood fields covered in slaughter
Call it revolution but the circle is complete
Their triumph is the old world built anew before their feet
