Death of Gods |
We stood on the shoulders of giants |
Like atlas with the burden of faith |
We clasped our hands in praise |
Of a conqueror’s right to tyranny |
This is a language that has not passed |
Our lips in one thousand years |
So heretics I call to you |
Partisans stand as one |
Rebels raise your voices |
If not then all is lost |
This is the death of the Republic and make no mistake |
The senate is lost and Zeus is laughing |
So Mars God of war can you hurl a lightning bolt |
To smash the temple of the blind |
The Tiber is over flowing with the blood of innocent men |
And so we stood, among thieves, liars and murderers |
Whose names shall live in eternal rest and infamy |
Disgraced kings enshrined with their pious men |
Who ruled us all with the bloodied spear of destiny |
You knew my name before I was born |
You knew my death from the moment it passed my lips |
This is the death of the Republic |
Dead and gone with Pearse in the grave |
Haunted to the end by the ghosts of Connolly’s army |
Skeletal fingers on the trigger of Collins' demise |
And Parnell’s dreams are turned to nothing but dust |
«And I say to my people’s masters: beware, beware of the |
thing that is coming, beware of the risen people, who shall |
take what we would not give. |
Did ye think to conquer the people, or that law is stronger |
than life and than men’s desire to be free?» |
