The Philosopher King Songtext
von Ex Deo

Filth reigns in the heart of the wicked
Necrotation of the flesh
You want the soul
Like feeble shall fall
Rip old hearts
Dissolving the forgotten us
From eternity
Praise eternity
Insanity

Philosopher
King of the stoic
Messenger of light
Messenger of the willing
Everything and everything about it
All the motions guided by the gods that create
Philosopher king


When a man sees his end, he wants to
Know there was some purpose to his life
Will I be known as the philosopher? The warrior? The tyrant?
Or will I be the emperor who gave Rome back her true self?

Drown me in the waters
Cleanse me from this foul world
The gods favor me
Oh, let the games begin

Sun burns my eyes
Bring the hands of death
Pull me in the summer
Descend upon me
Drown me in the waters
Cleanse me from this foul world
The gods favor me
Let the games begin


Philosopher
King of the stoic
Messenger of light
Messenger of the willing
Everything and everything about it
Everything about it
All the motions guided by the gods that create
Philosopher king

What doesn′t transmit light creates its own darkness
I am Marcus Aurelius, the philosopher king
