Tyrant

A tyrant (Greek τύραννος, tyrannos), in the modern English usage of the word, is an absolute ruler unrestrained by law or person, or one who has usurped legitimate sovereignty. Often described as a cruel character, a tyrant defends their position by oppressive means, tending to control almost everything in the state. The original Greek term, however, merely meant an authoritarian sovereign without reference to character, bearing no pejorative connotation during the Archaic and early Classical periods.

My being cries from inside
What am I to be 
Without my pride
My pride became the part 
I cherished the most
This part of me 
No longer enclosed
You raped and you sodomized my world
You broke everything that was near and dear
Who are you to say about my flaws and imperfections
When your life's been cut into sections

If I fall I'll take you with me
This is not the end
If I fall I'll take you with me
We might end up dead
If I fall I'll take you with me
Death is not the end
If I fall I'll take you
Take you with me

The heel of the man is the unshielded beast
Bringing plagues of fire
To this hellish feast
So headstrong that you
Couldn't see your flaws
The beast of pestilence
Sinks in its claws
You raped and you sodomized my world
You broke everything that was near and dear
Who are you to say about my flaws and imperfections
When your life's been cut into sections

If I fall I'll take you with me
This is not the end
If I fall I'll take you with me
We might end up dead
If I fall I'll take you with me
Death is not the end
If I fall I'll take you
Take you with me
