The Philosopher King

Filth reigns in the heart of the wicked
 Degradation of the flesh
 You warned us all
 Thy feeble shall fall
 Crippled hearts
 Disorder in the four corners
 Ruptured sanity
 Praised insanity
 (Insanity)
 Philosopher
 King of the stoic
 Messenger of light
 Messenger of the willing
 Everything in it, everything about it
 All the motions guided by the gods I create
 Philosopher king!
 When a man sees his end,
 he wants to know there was some purpose to his life.
 Will I be known as the philosopher? The warrior? The tyrant?
 Or will I be the emperor who gave Rome back her true self?
 Drown me in the waters
 Cleanse me from the vile world
 The gods favor me
 Oh, let the games begin
 The sun burns my eyes
 Brings the hands of death
 Pull me in the somber
 Descend upon me
 Drown me in the waters
 Cleanse me from the vile world
 The gods favor me
 Let the games begin
 Philosopher
 King of the stoic
 Messenger of light
 Messenger of the willing
 Everything in it, everything about it
 (Everything about it)
 All the motions guided by the gods I create
 Philosopher king!
 What doesn't transmit light creates its own
 darkness. I am Marcus Aurelius, The Philosopher King
