Song language: English
Brutus |
| I’ve been watching him for my entire life |
| I hate the air he breathes, his foolish decrees, his words so Contrived |
| And I hate the way the townspeople gather outside |
| They hang on every breath, cling to his chest, home to his Heart Full of pride |
| The oracle told him to beware the ides |
| And I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t wishing for untimely death or Demise |
| Or am I just wishing I could be like you? |
| That the people would see me too as a poet |
| And not just the muse |
| Oh it’s not true, I don’t wish harm upon you |
| From birth we’ve been like brothers, of different mothers, Within the spirit of |
| the same womb |
| May the gods strike me down if I forsake you |
| Frater meus |
| You’re beautifully made and to you I’m forever grateful |
| I’ll never forget that you showed me to make art |
| And I know the love you showed me came from a pure and Noble Heart |
| I love you and if you want I’ll call you king |
| But why do I lie awake each night thinking |
| Instead of you, it should be me? |
| Something wicked this way comes |
| And as I set to face it I’m unsure should I embrace it, should I Run? |
| What motivates me — hatred or is it love? |
| What’s more wrong — that I too wish to be great or my mother Wished she’d had a |
| son? |
| And even if I can’t be the one, maybe I could at least help Make Way for him |
| until the day that he comes |
| Maybe my name could also be known — |
| That I helped return good to the people |
| And restored greatness to Rome |
| BRUTUS, BRUTUS, BRUTUS, BRUTUS |
| BRUTUS, BRUTUS, BRUTUS, BRUTUS |
| BRUTUS, BRUTUS, BRUTUS, BRUTUS |
| BRUTUS, BRUTUS, BRUTUS, BRUTUS |
| My name is Brutus and my name means heavy |
| So with a heavy heart I’ll guide this dagger into the heart of my Enemy |
| My whole life you were a teacher and friend to me |
| Please know my actions are not motivated only by envy |
| I too have a destiny |
| This death will be art |
| The people will speak of this day from near and afar |
| This event will be history |
| And I’ll be great too |
| I don’t want what you have |
| I wanna be you |
| I always knew I could be the one |
| Though I feel the endless pain of being and I am scorched by |
| The sun |
| Of humble origins and born of the cursed sex |
| My name is Brutus but the people will call me Rex |
