lyrics

So you want to be immortal?
Listen to the King
Dressed in yellow rags
A drunk old man will give you all
Rob the sacred temples
Take seven holy totems
Kill seven true believers
Spread death on this broken land

NO!
NO!
What is it I have to do? I don't want to kill for you; I just want to live forever
I may be drunk, but I'm not so clever
Don't break the oath. The oath
How many died for you?
Undead old man; Priest of Death
Tell me I won't die cold and lonely; you tricked me into murder foul
I need to be remembered
I never meant to break the oath
I broke the oath. I cannot go home

Bring me the cursed book.
Bring me the pallid mask.
Invade the heart of earth
Start the war to end the Earth
The sword you hold is of a god
Wind and fire you control
Kill your gods and kill yourself
Allow my wretched life to end.
