“Kaisarion” starts the album with power, musically and lyrically speaking. In the context of the album, Tobias Forge said to Metal Hammer:
That’s the violent start of this new empire. The call to arms. Burn down everything from the past to build something new and burn the books and kill the whore.

Kaisarion Lyrics
[Verse 1: Papa Emeritus IV]
Kaisarion, a prophecy told
We're building our empire from the ashes of an old
Kaisarion, the fruit of the womb
Our brotherhood of good faith sealed an apostate witch's doom
[Pre-Chorus: Papa Emeritus IV]
It's the sound of another deadline whistling past your ears
It's the sight of a million regrets mounting over years
It's the words that were never spoken that echoes through the times
It's the smell of the burning temples swept away by rhymes
[Chorus: Papa Emeritus IV]
(Hypatia) Far away from the stench of the heavens
(Hypatia) Long ago, yet too close to forever
(Hypatia) When a paradise is lost, go straight to...
[Verse 2: Papa Emeritus IV]
Kaisarion, a matter of love
When Mother Earth is calling for a father up above
Kaisarion, put on the smiles
And throw your holy rocks right at her for her satanic wiles
[Pre-Chorus: Papa Emeritus IV]
It's the truth of candor shone through the prism of deceit
It's the continence of bishops with their choirboys en-suite
It's the tongue soiled in adulation that licks to no avail
It's the noise of the righteous dogma that hides the handmaid's tail
[Chorus: Papa Emeritus IV]
(Hypatia) Far away from the stench of the heavens
(Hypatia) Long ago, yet too close to forever
(Hypatia) When a paradise is lost, go straight to...
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge: Papa Emeritus IV]
It's the sound of another deadline whistling past your ears
It's the sight of a million regrets mounting over years
It's the words that were never spoken that echoes through the times
It's the smell of the burning temples swept away by rhymes
It's the truth of candor shone through the prism of deceit
It's the continence of bishops with their choirboys en-suite
It's the tongue soiled in adulation that licks to no avail
It's the noise of the righteous dogma that hides the handmaid's tail
[Chorus: Papa Emeritus IV]
(Hypatia) Far away from the stench of the heavens
(Hypatia) Long ago, yet too close to forever
(Hypatia) When a paradise is lost, go straight to...
(Hypatia) Far away from the stench of the heavens
(Hypatia) Long ago, yet too close to forever
(Hypatia) When a paradise is lost, go straight to...

What have the artists said about the song?
Tobias Forge:
The story this song tells, or the perspective it shines light onto, is basically stupid people destroying something that they don’t understand with a frantic smile on their face. This has happened many times and unfortunately will probably happen many times in the future, because unfo...
