The Fall of Claudius
de Ex Deo
I, claudius, will tell you how to frame you laws
Profiteering and bribery will stop
The senate will function only in the name of roman justice
And all of you who have acquired position dishonestly
Will be replaced by men who love rome better than their purses
I will blank everything rotten in the senate like an old dried wake
On that basis only will I become your emperor
She's cast a spell on me
The leaves fall from the darkеned tree
Still hypnotized by her
Agrippina, my goddеss, my queen
Rise from the root of the hive
Rise from the blood of deceit and lies
The snakes are slithering
The stench of rot, lies beneath your paradise
Twisted are the sins of lust
Twisted are the sins of lust
All my life I was just and fair
Different but good, different but good
All my life I was just and fair
Different but good, different but good
Why have the gods forsaken me
Beneath the sorrow in disguise?
They called me crippled, they laughed at me
The cries of vengeance always merciful
Still her beauty beholds me
Fear has overtaken me
The fallen ways of diplomacy
Taken by the grip of power
Crippled dysfunction
Possesses my being, my everything
Oh how this curse
Bestows the novelty in me, ripped by the bowels of hell
Through time I have been honourable
I have served the people of rome
And as the great emperor
(Of blood and fire, of poison and death)
(Of gods and slaves, of truth and lies, of honor and death)
I was just (the first betrayal)
I was honourable (the wrath of fire)
They laughed, they laughed at me (in her seductive eyes, agrippina)
Mother of snakes
Twisted are the sins of lust
Power turns to rust
I hear death calling my name
All my life I was just and fair
Different but good, different but good
All my life I was just and fair
Different but good, different but good
Why have the gods forsaken me
Beneath the sorrow in disguise?
They called me crippled they laughed at me
The cries of vengeance always merciful
