Regicide - Almanac

«…While king Henry III of France was

preparing to attack Paris, on august 1st, 1589

A Dominican monk asked for access to the

king because of secret documents he owns

While whispering into his ear,

the monk plunged a knife into the king’s body

The guards killed the monk,

but the people praised the assassination as the judgement of god»

Way down, but you pushed me too many times

Lay down, because of you I feel I’m dead inside

Way down, so you killed me one too many times

Lay down, because of you now I will rise, yes now I will rise…

Way down, you pushed me too many times

Lay down, because of you I’m dead inside

Crucified but the world keeps turning, you won’t let me go

Raise the flag and kill me stunning, you reap what you sow

Give me everything you can’t hide

I can see through your eyes

To the center of your weird mind… All the anger is inside

On the morning after the king has lost his crown

Only tears and laughter come together now

When my senses fail us, I’ll fade without a sound

When I see you fail, I’ll break in to break you down

Regicide

Lay down, I’m sick of waiting for the start

Pray now, my hate courts now your lonely heart

Try to teach myself forever compassion for my life

Time has come to make a difference, now my blood will rise

To the nightfall of my kingdom

Angels cry while we sleep

A king reborn, a prophecy forlorn was once buried deep
