Pittura infamante Swinging from the tree of life Suspended upside down Wisdom from self-sacrifice The gallows of the king Like the hanged man I swing Erected by my own hands Choke on my humility My word is my bond I'm tied by my own tongue Broke omerta in pursuit Of truth in Gotterdammerung A traitor to the old way Committing sui-deicide Tightrope walk the thread of life To make divinity reified Ruminate in the ruins Of my past-life kingdom Syncopated pulse To the universal rhythm A flaming torch sprouting In place of a crown Greater power gained From the throne I renounced Dead dreams sleep in asphodel meadows Channel the archetypes through my tarot Mind racing, heart beats in allegro Open my back with pugiones Pull out my lungs for all to see I have no mouth and I must scream The price for freedom is treachery Carve the blood eagle on me Break the ribs from my spine Think twice before you cross me You'll give me strength when I survive Your betrayal will be fatal Naked hate in ultimatum Send you to the gates of Hell Where Satan eagerly awaits to take you Think I'm playing - you're mistaken Your slaying will be slow and painful Split you from your nape to naval When Death comes you will be thankful The lesson from my fable Sometimes when you are a king You must betray your sovereignty To progress on your odyssey Defeat is not disgraceful Accept and learn from your endings Then in ash you sow your seeds Rebirth in future victory With ten swords in my back I have let them X me out Bloodlet to purify my soul Collect the ichor flowing out
