The False Jester

Among the leeches
Beyond our cognition
Lies down the king of our time

Crowned by our lies
Fed by ignorance
High praised by fools

“Self-proclaimed
I am sacred
The main foundation of this new age of light
For all the knowledge was mocked and wasted
Again I’ll rise”

We held the cross
You brought the sword
And when the deal was signed

Our hopes were lost
The promises sworn
Faded out in time

“Blood… Thirsty
I sense danger
The menace comes from all of the opposite side
The main purpose of a campaign is success
No matter the price”

You who cross the borders
Of this land blessed by rage and fire
Know that regress and disorder
Are the new flag of our empire

“Vós, poderoso Rei, cujo alto Império
O Sol, logo em nascendo, vê primeiro
Vê-o também, no meio do Hemisfério
E quando desce, o deixa derradeiro”
(Os Lusíadas - Luís Vaz de Camões - Canto I Estrofe 8)

And God above us all
