Hail To The King

(album: Trinity - 2022)

A king once said; "if a man hasn't found
Something to die for, he ain't fit to live."
Well I died for you all
But resurrection's a bitch
What do you do when a king walks in?
Do you get on your knees or die on your feet?
Do you atone for your sins?

And the mortals sing

Hail to the King
Get on your knees and bow to me
Do you wanna die for nothin'?
Hail to the King
Do you hear those trumpets
Gabriel's playing for me?
A king needs a queen, and Clara my dear
Will you sit on this throne again?
Can I be forgiven?

"Of course my love."
"Well then, let the reign begin."
"Oh, great"
"Fucking bow."

Oh, King

First order of business; die

Live by the sword, die by thy hand
Death rides a horse of pale white
Tyranny reigns as the worlds collide
Bodies of mortal are merged with the throne
Kneel to the crown, or die by the stone

Heaven has no place in this realm
Corpses burn bright; a signal fire for the foes
Death rides a horse of pale white
He's coming as the King's hand of the right

And the mortals sing

Hail to the King
Get on your knees and bow to me
Do you want to die for nothing?
Hail to the King
When over is thy reign
You will all remember my name

Sherlock Bones
True king of the Devil's throne

Let the rivers run blood, and be purified
By the fire, royal flames, of the great divine
And when you pay in your death, you shall be revived
The Hellhound merged worlds so he can never die

The mortals, the monsters, you all sing

Hail to the King
Get on your knees and bow to me
Do you want to die for nothing?
Fucking hail to the King
When over is thy reign
You will all remember my name

A kingdom needs a king and a queen
And with all this misanthropy I think we're a perfect fit

"Let the tyranny begin, here comes the thunder."

Samsara ignites the flames of an ancient throne
Throw fire, throw stone, the crushing of the bones
Mortality has never quite been in my grasp
But I'll make sure you'll all feel it when I clap my hands
Three worlds kneeling isn't enough for me
7 billion living, dead, and the inbetween
This isn't Heaven, nor Hell, this is my tyranny

"A parting of the clouds brings us a figure
To challenge the king of his throne, of his claim
The Narrator who paved a way for the Trinity
Paints the final picture for you all to see."

Streets are overrun with minions of the King
Darkness casts a shadow, hope is quickly dwindling
"These worlds were never meant to merge 'til I was ready to reign
Your claim to the throne is feign
For I am the one who set the apocalyptic clock
I gave you keys to the gates knowing you'd all fuck up"

The King screams
"I choose who lives or dies
My power is everything"
"Pathetic."

Quickly cast aside in the pale light
A king and queen fall, like they were pawns all along
Horrified, the Narrator reveals his true name
Baphicho, King of the First Reign

"Oh sun, so silent
You showed us the heavens
But at the summit of our divine
We see a mountain inverted; a lie
Now the skies deep red
Encircled with anger
Collapse upon the world does
An evil, fallen from its manger
Or is it rising to an apocalyptic climax?
As the ground is scorched by the blood
The skin of the earth; stripped off its back
The Hand of the King
Fools gold as it were
Has torn the boundaries of God's will
To form a new world
The voice of Narration
Prologues the last tale

"I am not a man, but a god
The First Gloom, King Baphicho
Thank you Trinity, for releasing me
For tolling this world's final bell
Heaven hath come
But not before Hell."

Oh shit...

Prepare for finality
Heaven hath come
But not before Hell

Rip the earth's soul from it's carcass
Tear the earth's heart from its core
Blood rains down from hell above
As heaven burns below
Heaven burns below

I'll see you all in the new world
Apocalypta
Apocalypta
Apocalypta
Trinity, you've doomed us all
I'll see you all in the new world
Apocalypta
Apocalypta
Apocalypta
Apocalypta
