Down the centuries, I was at their side

With a song to glorify their genocide’s

Always knowing but never appearing too wise

Always had a rhyme to hide their lies

Here I am - here stands the fool

I plot with pretenders and princes,
Em A D G
And I will shed a tear on the loser's grave

And some advice for you, if I may

It's better a knave than a slave

To conspire and devour

That's how these empires are lost and won

I bow my head humbly to mistress and sire
Em A D G
And I will still be alive with the rising of the sun
