[Cephalic Carnage - A King and a Thief lyrics]

Being misled by certainty is like
Confusing pessimistic despair for wisdom
Said the joker to the rectopath thief
Well it's better the imperial
Abattoir he replied

Onslaught and plunder
Stains her thighs with murder
Brutal c-section is performed
The village is under siege
While royal mistress gives birth

Two biparous sons, one is purged away
Deiparous emperor to be the wizard vanishes
Absconds into the sea
Vicious steeds tread on feeble mass crawling
Everyone is dead accept the other twin
And the bleeding balatron
As they row to safety

Now a man, thy bellipotent ruler
Has scorn and contempt for
His peasant brethren
He will stop at nothing till
His brother is dead for robbing the coffers
And cursing the family name
Everyone around him must perish
Or he too is killed

Brothers destroy one another
Verbally tearing each other apart
Feel it in their blackened hearts

As they finally meet
Starving the peasant steals to eat
He is trapped and weak
Begging for forgiveness at thy brother's feet
I will spare your life at the gallows pole
My hate for you will soon unfold

The king and a thief are one and the same
One steals to eat and the other for gain
Crush your dreams, enforced pain
Inflicting their father's rage
Staring at their dying mother's face
In his brother's now dead eyes
Tears seal their family ties
