lyrics

Lyrics:

Sins of the father
Are answered for by his sons,
Is it just karma that
Our martyr is forbidden?

Creon, Creon
You cannot win
One thing is certain
I will never give in
Brazen fiend
You dare to label me?
Oh you will beg!
For I am Antigone
Emperor you reap
The spoils of war
Flexing your muscles
You wield a royal sword
Heroes be heathens
In a bastion of thieves
Creon, Creon
You care not for Thebes!

We are pure, we are strong
We are brave and we will fight!

Creon, Creon
Its a means to an end
Unwept, unwedded
Still my steel will not bend
He might be blind
But his sight won’t be deprived
Tiresias, in a flash
Perceived my wrath
Heed the words
Of this wise soothsayer
Cuz I’ve got bones to pick
With my creator
Heads will roll
For the prodigal one
Creon, Creon
He will not be shunned

The tension is rising
No sense in denying
You’re feeling the heat
Look deep in my eyes
And then be hypnotized
Suicide is not defeat

If I could go back
And change everything
You would perform burial hymns
Scattering ash flake by flake
Anathemas on Seven Gates
Woe betide those vile fools
Who decry and fight my rule
Hear my howls Polynices
Tear them down onto their knees

Power feeds a cowards greed

This is the beginning of the end!
