Twin obscenity - The Usurper`s Throne слова песни
An old man sits on his throneHis limbs all weaken`d and grayWhat is a king with no kingdom to ruleThis quandary troubles his mindI am the greatest `neath the heavensNo thief shall own what is mineThe earth shall tremble in fearWhen the dying whisper my nameThey came to the shores from the westHis crown and sceptre to claimIn bloody conflict the scores would be settl`dIn a battle o`er land and fameHis men stood by upon the fieldFrom no battle they would shunDespite their armour and wooden shieldsTheir blood soon caress`d by steelA young herald rode forthImperial was his voice :"Return to us the crown of thine;to whom it rightfully belongs:Lest our fury be releas`din full strength upon thy weary followers.This is our claim and our threateningbe well adviced and comply."The sun did rise at dawnThe field soon soak`d with bloodWith superior courage and arguments of steelTheir claim both right and justHis soldiers fell despite their mightAll pierc`d by arrows and spearsAnd those who surviv`d fled the fieldWith unbearable shame in their heartsThe old man could but weepHis defeat he could not denyWith gun-stones and swords; his army destroy`dAnd the soil discolour`d with blood
