Heavy Lies The Crown |
| Call me the spider king, I creep along the night |
| I weave a web so dense, once caught there is no flight |
| So delicate the strands I weave around my victims taut |
| The terror suffocates their shattered afterthoughts |
| I feel their envy, heavy lies the crown |
| Heavy lies the crown |
| Call me the spider king, men sharpen blades behind |
| Caught in the light of greed, the prize infects their minds |
| They fly too close to flames of fame and withered vanity |
| Like moths they’re drawn towards the inhumanity |
| I hear their envy, heavy lies the crown |
| And so I send my spies to watch the guilty seethe |
| Devise a twisted plot and gently pull the strings |
| I slink along the boulevards and listen to the streets |
| The avenues and gutters give me truth to speak |
| I hear their envy, heavy lies the crown |
| Call me the spider king, these fiends show no respect |
| Their blinded loyalties, the balance that I check |
| I hear them sharpen knives behind my back |
| A moment frozen, let them open fire |
| See the hatred that burns through my eyes |
| And remember the pain I’ll inflict on you |
| Before the dawn |
| Suffer my vengeance |
| Suffer my vengeance |
| So many cannons have been aimed at me |
| They raise the guillotine at full speed |
| The bayonets of men they clash and ring |
| The battle’s ashen sting, it recedes |
| The bodies burning in a blaze of heat |
| The screams of agony and lost pride |
| These men go off to die, for war and countryside |
| The revving engine of the war machine |
| Draining it as it feeds on the weak |
| They try to resurrect the violent seed |
| Into a hangman’s tree of deceit |
| The choice made out on the battleground |
| Through history resound |
| The weight would crush you down |
| Cause heavy lies the crown |
| Heavy lies the crown |
| I smell the fear these men disguise as their love |
| The hints of their betrayal, it fires my blood |
| So many knives have missed my back to put me down |
| The weight would crush you down |
| Cause heavy lies the crown |
| Don’t put me on a pedestal |
| I lay there for you all to see |
| I never wanted any war |
| Save me from the hate below |
| Envy seeps from every pore |
| Jealousy is your just reward |
| This is a warning to you all |
| Don’t ever try to plot my fall |
| I’ll put you six feet in the ground |
| Heavy lies the crown |
