Tyrant

[Verse 1]
Lately I’ve become the tyrant
I’ll bludgeon all who dare oppose me
Every whisper is a needle
Pressed into my skin
Order will become the ointment
To appease the jilted masses
And silence will become the banner
A herald of what’s to come

[Pre-Chorus]
We must drag the bodies from the river
Before you start to question me

[Chorus 1]
I am the consequence of this disconnection
The prophet of your demise
I am the product of this misdirection
A harbinger and I’ll cut you down to size

[Verse 2]
Someone had to wear the mantle
To keep these factions from colliding
Should I have left you to spit at each other?
No, I had to intervene
I’ll give you ample motivation
To embrace my wild suggestions
This is exactly what you asked for
And I’m happy to oblige

[Chorus 2]
I am the consequence of this disconnection
The prophet of your demise
I am the product of this misdirection
A harbinger of what is to come

[Bridge]
Greeted by silence
I begin my address
(I answer to no-one)
(I answer to no-one)

[Verse 3]
Thank you all for your attendance
Your support is duly noted
Someone had to cut away the cancer
Try to salvage what remains

[Outro]
Eye for an eye
Eye for an eye
Eye for an eye
Throw more petrol on the fire
