[Intro]
Filth reigns in the heart of the wicked
Degradation of the flesh
You warned us all
Thy feeble shall fall

[Verse 1]
Crippled hearts
Disorder in the four corners
Ruptured sanity
Praised insanity
(Insanity)

[Chorus]
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!

[Interlude]
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?

[Verse 2]
Drown me in the waters
Cleanse me from the vile world
The gods favor me
Oh, let the games begin

[Verse 3]
The sun burns my eyes
Brings the hands of death
Pull me in the somber
Descend upon me

[Verse 2]
Drown me in the waters
Cleanse me from the vile world
The gods favor me
Let the games begin
[Chorus]
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!

[Outro]
What doesn't transmit light creates its own darkness. I am Marcus Aurelius, The Philosopher King
