Sol Invictus - The Fool lyrics

Down the centuries, I was at their side With a song to glorify their genocide's Always knowing but never appearing too wise Always had a rhyme to hide their lies Here I am - just for you Here I am - here stands the fool I plot with pretenders and princes, And I will shed a tear on the loser's grave And some advice for you, if I may It's better a knave than a slave Here I am - just for you Here I am - here stands the fool To conspire and devour That's how these empires are lost and won I bow my head humbly to mistress and sire And I will still be alive with the rising of the sun
