Tyrant

You had the people believing your words
About the prophet you spoke with
And who would question the highest power?
And who would question your motives?

All the ones who bowed their heads
And kissed the earth beneath you

Was it your vision or was it god's?
Was it your longing for power?
Were you abandoned when you were young?
And now defeated you cower

All the ones who bowed their heads
And kissed the earth beneath you
You betrayed the love they gave
And shot them down beside you

And all the wars you waged
The hatred that remains
It all amounts to nothing, without honor
