Testo: Blind Guardian. Curse My Name.
The tenure of kings and their magistrates
By good men it must be deposed
The covenant made can be voided at once
Disanoint him, take his crown
They plead for their king
And they pity their lord
Put him to death, that's what I say
[Bridge 1]
Though never so just these dancing divines
Endue him with reason and grace
They're gibberish
Words dissemble the facts
God's will
They falsely will claim
[Chorus]
Let him curse my name
On these blood stained pages of misery
Let him call me a tyrant so cruel
Let him curse my name
But remember the truth
[Flute & acoustic lead]
So there they come
From everywhere
Their witness revenge
Hear them calling
"You're laden with blood
It's spilled everywhere"
And sorrow's everlasting
Oh you'll be aware now
That trial is near
It's close at hand
The masquerade is over...
It ends...
[Instrumental interlude]
Ahhh ahhh ahhhh...
Ahhh ahhh ahhhh...
Remove his crown
And bring him down
Remove his crown
And bring him down
Now we shall mourn no longer
Our prayers they've been heard
Now we shall mourn no longer
Our prayers they've been heard
(We won't take it anymore) There's no more league
That will blind us to the tyrant (We won't take it anymore)
Our voices shall be heard
Cause we won't take it anymore
(We won't take it anymore) There's no more league
That will blind us to the tyrant (We won't take it anymore)
Our voices shall be heard
Cause we won't take it anymore
And we're one we are the nation (We won't take it anymore)
And we're one we are the law (We won't take it anymore)
And we're one we are the nation (We won't take it anymore)
And we're one we are the law (We won't take it anymore)
Falsely they praise
Deify his majesty
"He's blessed the anointed's
Fulfilling God's will"
Curse them all
No further he's king
Providence brought him straight into our hands
[Chorus]
Let him curse my name
On these blood stained pages of misery
Let him call me a tyrant so cruel
Let him curse my name
But remember the truth
[Acoustic lead: Andre]
Now let him appear
There's joy in the air
Now witness a new age is dawning
In trouble alone
He's facing despair
Awaiting his bitter ending
[Bridge 2]
We all know he's guilty as charged
By punishment due to his crime
We sacrifice the wicked king
Acknowledged by scriptures and law
[Chorus]
Let him curse my name
On these blood stained pages of misery
Let him call me a tyrant so cruel
Let him curse my name but remember the truth...
On these blood stained pages of misery
Let him call me a tyrant so cruel
Let him curse my name but remember the truth...
We won't take it anymore
Our voice it shall be heard
We won't take it anymore
But I will remember the truth
We won't take it anymore
Our voice it shall be heard
We won't take it anymore
But I will remember the truth
By good men it must be deposed
The covenant made can be voided at once
Disanoint him, take his crown
They plead for their king
And they pity their lord
Put him to death, that's what I say
[Bridge 1]
