The Usurper

My father the king The master, lord of this realm Once he was strong now he his broken I stand by his side and see his weakness take toll While I know that I am stronger A king is a god He is worshipped and feared My father's crown has lost its glimmer Here I hide in shadows behind the throne Assassin's blade concealed in my cloak My father, you must die, die for the sake of the cause Strength must prevail tonight, unsheathe my dagger Lies wash out, through streams of blood Words burn through the flesh I am the one, killer of kings Usurper, tyrant and son As I see the life leave your eyes I can feel no remorse I am the one, killer of kings Usurper, tyrant and son My father's corpse lay on the floor His bloody crown upon his king's head I hear the crowd calling my name Now it's time to raise an iron fist Lies wash out, through streams of blood Words burn through the flesh I am the one, killer of kings Usurper, tyrant and son As I see the life leave your eyes I can feel no remorse I am the one, killer of kings Usurper, tyrant and son As I will fall to the blade of my son
