The Philosopher King - Ex Deo

Filth reigns in the heart of the wicked

Degradation of the flesh

You warned us all

Thy feeble shall fall

Crippled hearts

Disorder in the four corners

Ruptured sanity

Praised insanity

(Insanity)

Philosopher

King of the stoic

Messenger of light

Messenger of the willing

Everything in it, everything about it

All the motions guided by the gods I 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 the vile world

The gods favor me

Oh, let the games begin

The sun burns my eyes

Brings the hands of death

Pull me in the somber

Descend upon me

Drown me in the waters

Cleanse me from the vile world

The gods favor me

Let the games begin

Philosopher

King of the stoic

Messenger of light

Messenger of the willing

Everything in it, everything about it

(Everything about it)

All the motions guided by the gods I create

Philosopher king!

What doesn’t transmit light creates its own darkness.

I am Marcus Aurelius,

The Philosopher King
