Argumentum ad Baculum

V5.5

[Verse 1] Through shadows deep, I made my way, In the heart of night, where tyrants stay. With iron staff and daggers keen, The walls of power I’d unseen. [Pre-Chorus] Silent steps, the whispers grow, In darkness where no mercy shows. Through the stones that held despair, I moved unseen, a phantom’s glare. [Chorus] Raise the gates, let fury in, The walls shall fall, let freedom win. A storm of rage, a sea of cries, As shadows rise, the tyrant dies. [Verse 2] Their iron grasp, their shackled screams, Echoed loud in broken dreams. One by one, they fell from grace, As I carved my path to a sacred place. [Pre-Chorus] A whispered breath, a silent shout, The world within, the world without. Steel met steel, and blood ran cold, In the fortress walls of greed and gold. [Chorus] Raise the gates, let fury in, The walls shall fall, let freedom win. A storm of rage, a sea of cries, As shadows rise, the tyrant dies. [Bridge] I caught his eye as he turned to flee, Through hidden halls, he ran from me. With bleeding pride and broken will, I took him captive, held him still. [Verse 3] But the taste of victory turned to dust, As greed and power replaced their trust. They bickered on the fallen throne, So I left them all to reap their own. [Chorus] Raise the gates, let fury in, The walls shall fall, let freedom win. A storm of rage, a sea of cries, As shadows rise, the tyrant dies. [Outro] Through shadows deep, I slipped away, No need for crowns in light of day. In the end, I walk alone, Leaving behind their blood-stained throne.
