Fireaxe - Raise The Black Flag I Betrayed Lyrics

We have been betrayed.
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
The king feasts while his soldiers keep order.
The priests pacify and build great churches.
And tell the rest of us it’s good to suffer.

Living the good life, while making us bow to a god that failed.
Promising heaven, taking us down the road to hell.

Read my words and tell your brethren.
Spread the truth and cause dissention.
All that’s holy stinks of corruption.
All that’s noble is drowned in lies.

Hiding in darkness, plotting the death of the king.
Meeting in secret, gathering strength for the purge.

Plots uncovered. Men arrested.
Conspirators are bound and tortured.
The king brings down a reign of terror
to kill the evil lurking within.

More oppression brings more dissention, brings more oppression and martial law.
Demonstrations. Executions. Fear spreads as the hammer falls.

You will obey me.

No.

Raise the Black Flag. And scream, “Death to the King.”
Raise the Black Flag. And beat your plowshare into a sword.
Raise the Black Flag. Let nothing sacred stand in your way.
Raise the Black Flag. And release your inner will to kill.
