Lyrics

RISE OF THE LOMBARDS

Give me a porter and percacet
Cause I have had it
Under the weight of my un-penned tomes
Run for the towers and the parapets
This world plummets
Under the weight of the man made stones
I take cover as the roof caves in
It buckles under weight of the incessant pain
Fear for my life as the walls close in
A picture of void, only dust remains
A dead Illuminati in a tourniquet
You know I mean it
I became a bard out of a dead man?s bones
Feel more divine the higher up you get
Reach my summit
The mind spills into various and vast ozones
Perched on the dung heap, smiles adorned
Not a single hint of what lies below
The imminent danger, the worlds appalled
It'll soon open and swallow us whole
To live and die by sacrament
To never speak thy true intent
I?m drunk and I can move through walls
And take you dumb fuckers out in droves
Who?ll be the herald of the coming end
Ok I?ll do it
But I?ll need immunity in case I fail
Feels like I?m running out of acumen
But I?ll pursue it
By way of a flagon of the Lombard?s ale
Wandering aimlessly I thirst for more
Silence moves in reality in tow
It's not gonna matter the machine rolls on
Til the truth's revealed of what lies below
Enter en masse the passersby
The noose on your neck is yours to untie
Cinch up the rope and feast your eyes
The noose on your neck is yours to untie
Run up the gallows the Great Facade
A short drop, a quick stop and you?ll meet your god
With the stretching of necks the mobs applaud
A short drop, quick stop, and you?ll meet your god
