Blades of Malice - Ascending the Throne

Liberation! From the crazed Caesar!
His laurels became so heavy
Burdened by indecision
Icarus hath no perspective from feeble wings of wax
His madness infectious, why do they not see?
Directions deliberate and inefficacious
Hamartia superseding circumspection
Give me somewhere to stand and I will move the earth!
Rally, Revolt; Reap the Emperor's crown
Alliances crushed till no trace is found
Bear down on thе gates and smash the praetor
Sounds of clashing steel еcho from corridors
Reprisal at hand, the tyrant cowers on tiled floor
Extinguish his life; let the fool's fire burn no more
The empire is mine to mold in my own image; a sight to behold
A place where my sovereign benevolence promotes amaranthine
I can't understand it; the tighter my grip the more I lose control
Enemies lurk on boarders harassing local trade
To fend off their attacks taxes must be raised
My laws, my rules, all have purpose
These harsh decrees must be made for peace to remain
Dissension proliferates amongst the populace
Rumors abundant that the Emperor will be slain
Rally, Revolt; they'll reap the Emperor's crown
My alliances crushed 'til no traces are found
Bearing down on the gates and smashing the praetor
Sounds of clashing steel echo from my corridors
Reprisal at hand, I cravenly cower on tiled floor
Extinguish my life; let this fool's fire burn no more
My laurels became so heavy
Burdened by indecision
The sword of Damocles above me and a dagger at my throat!
