lyrics

Your light is the vanishing twilight
Your passion the well running dry
Your fear is the fear of an angel
Who’s taken for granted immortality

Your light is a blistering sunset
Your bane is the truth bare and frail
My teeth are sharp as an adder’s
These fangs are my freedom
Their aim cannot fail

My light is a vine that is creeping
My place is the cracks in between
My history, fierce and unpleasant
There is no peace treaty to erase the deeds

He claims to be immortal
But his infamy will die
These men only worship
What gold pieces buy

When my corpse lays in the street
Covered by flies
Who’ll be there to measure
The cost of your lies?

Your feast is the feast of the devil
Your pleasures are cruelty and greed
You come here to sneer and retort
Knowing Constantinople
Must pay you with heed.

Who came here to spoil and taint
Our fair land?
What selfish aims they whisper
While they’re making their plans

No blade can purge the vengeance
Contained in my hands
The breadth of my justice
Unmeasured by man
