๐ Lyrics
In the soft early hours as the day breaks
Shaleem now makes his escape
He knew the king, though refusing to give it up
Was now effectively little more than a sitting duck
He saddles up to the palace built on shattered homes
Scattered bones in the catacombs
Gong gong, make a subtle escape
Taking bloodlust into every step that I make
Every breath that I take
Make a break for the palace outer wall
To avoid the main gates where the archers are
Gong gong gone along
It's the throne battle, fall, drop to the inner courtyard
Floor, clutch grass with the palm of my hand
Stand tall, saw the king's guard up the corridor
The guard ... leaves through the main hall
So I sneak behind, he hits the floor
Then many more have gone along the same route
The sword stained red as I take 'em out
Can't wait to put my blade to the face of the tyrant
And make him bow down to the jade on my chain on my neck while smiling
I've got to find him, where is he hiding?
Footsteps echo through the halls of the palace
Through the wall hears the faint scraping of talents
Too many gentle souls fall into malice
One last nudge then light up the chalice
Only the sound of footsteps that ring
Only one thing that can make the cage burst in
Only one way out, only one leads in
To stand face to face with the king.
No more applications for soldiers, all positions filled
The guards should have informed you of that back at the citadel
Guards, escort this lad out, take his surname
Guards, guards! Hey, what's your game?
State your intent - my patience wears thin
Then I notice a faint resemblance in the face and skin
Could this be? Fate or destiny?
I can't overrstand how this could happen for the best of me
Wait, likeness in the eyes as the moonglow
Knew this moment would arrive but not so soon, though
That perfect combo of caring and fearlessness
With a twist of ..., obvious how clear it is
Oh, so here it is. Spare me your villainous charm
The moment sits calm like a pause of a song
Reflects dark images or makes the dust more warm than the howl of a dog
Sound the alarm! The gong was silently loud
Regardless how it played out he seemed ironically proud
What evidence can make a guest be accurate?
Recognizable at the craftsmanship on the amulet
With the jade beast, a rare yet familiar cut
And a custom design linked...
You think I feel the love?
I conjure nothing but a sour taste, foul grapes
Not what the owl takes, Dumile face the blade
May fate be the judge
And suffocate your days of hate and shedding blood
Come up, I'll tell you what
My reign is over, along with my presence
Hence a graceful exit, I leave your inheritance
Knowing one day you too will be consumed by absolute power of which no man is immune
And he was gone through a false panel in the room
And disappeared across the lagoon
Screams now echo through the halls of the palace
In his head - turmoil, struggling for balance
If his mother was compassion and his father was malice
Rain now falls by the gallon
Only the sound of footsteps in the halls
Only one response once destiny calls
Only the purest of heart stand tall
Only the wicked shall fall
A new king strolls through the halls of the palace
Hand held high, the embodiment of balance
And a role realized for the true and the callous
Through the looking glass like Alice
Only the ... outside
Only one man driven by the whims of the tide
Sometimes goodness and peace presides
Sometimes that one-eyed cyanide
Shaleem now makes his escape
He knew the king, though refusing to give it up
Was now effectively little more than a sitting duck
He saddles up to the palace built on shattered homes
Scattered bones in the catacombs
Gong gong, make a subtle escape
Taking bloodlust into every step that I make
Every breath that I take
Make a break for the palace outer wall
To avoid the main gates where the archers are
Gong gong gone along
