A thousand years lasting suffering
Told by songs and tales of grievance
The gods will choose a hero and then kill him
A mother solaces the child
Who shall become a king
The rulers of this land
Enforce us to perform
Under all this pressure
Reviling and cursing, cutting and smashing
Once your family
Burden of them all
Now you've crossed the line
This is the way
The law of violence
Be silent to save yourselves
You sovereign and brave
This is the land
Where you shall serve me
Cruel fate of one hero
Essential to gratify the nation
A thousand years lasting suffering
Told by songs and tales of grievance
Caused by the king who sits on the throne
A mother sees the child
He who became the evil king
Falling on their feet
Stare into the darkness
You shall share their fate
Reviled and cursed, cut and smashed
I'm the pesticide
Controlling words with poison
You're crawling in my way
This is the way
The law of violence
Stay still and live another day
This is the way
The law of violence
This is the land
Where you shall serve me
