I heard you were an idiot
a fool, a bloody heretic
a man for who a heart's not fit
oh ruler, oh empowered
I don't believe you have no soul
that compassion doesn't soon extol
its blessing on a heart so cold
oh ruler, oh empowered
in fact you are of my race
you occupy this human place
so another conclusion I must face
oh ruler, oh empowered
what sweet sorrow fills my breast
when I understand at your behest
thousands die and thousands rest
oh ruler, oh empowered
that someone of my human kind
could play as if they're dumb and blind
with death warrants by the thousands signed
oh ruler, oh empowered
upon the bank of a foreign river
you who god shall soon deliver
from obfuscation, lies forever
oh ruler, oh empowered
tis not your weapons, swords of might
that help you sleep in dead of night
that morning when we rise and fight!
oh ruler, oh empowered
when upon death's bed you go to lie
a million souls will come to spy
this man who killed and murdered nigh
oh ruler, oh empowered
as the walls come closing in
the death will fall upon next of kin
for how can they escape your din?
oh ruler, oh empowered
history is never "fair"
your story while you're lying there
will be remembered with great despair
oh ruler, oh empowered
when freedom it has loosed our cage
we'll dance upon your rotting grave
no good deeds for your soul to save
oh ruler, oh empowered
