lyrics

Forged by the fires of adversity
Fueled by their cries
Burning for righteous treachery
To slay a god

I’ve ruled this kingdom for centuries
You’re not the first to try
Taking this coveted crown from me
This treason ends, it ends tonight

Rise up

I stand before your majesty
The world watches as I defy
Cause you can't recognize
These lives you've frozen
Will never call you the chosen

To be free
We must all unite
This failed sovereignty
Will be revived within me

Did you want a standing ovation
They see through your disguise
You’ll only cede to temptation
You are no better than I

I’d give my life for posterity
Spare me your desperate lies
I'll have your tongue, you’re a two-faced snake
Now die, just die, the throne is mine

Rise Up

I won't surrender peacefully
The world watches as I fight for life
Cause you can't recognize
These lives you've frozen
Will never call you the chosen

When you scream
I’ll finally free their minds
One last breath fills me
I’ll never plead, even as I bleed

I arise
Time to recognize
This crown I've cozened
Rightfully makes me the chosen

Tyrant forged
by tyrannicide
Now bow unto me
Long live the king that is me

Long live the king
