The king is dead! We have nothing more to fear His head's claimed by Fortune's wheel On the mob's death square
Now is the time for renewal Don't mourn for the ill-fated despot His very existence was a crime Against the freedom of mankind
Mercy for the innocent Mercy for the weak The tyrant died So the nation could live
Fine virtues bloom On the poisonous branches of truth Again and yet again Righteous violence reigns absolute
Blessings to the new ruler He takes the blood of the gentry That slowly erodes The rooted tree of liberty
I bring you a realm o virtue and terror I bring you justice prompt and severe It's foolish to trust virtue without fear
Mercy for the innocent Mercy for the weak The tyrant died So the nation could live
Fine virtues bloom On the poisonous branches of truth Again and yet again Righteous violence reigns absolute
Down with the tyrant Enemy of the people He didn't stem the flow of blood Now the stream is filled by his own
Who dares accuse me? I, who served the 'cause of equality, Betrayed by false patriots I spurn this senseless riot
Mercy for the innocent Mercy for the weak The tyrant died So the nation could live
Fine virtues bloom On the poisonous branches of truth Again and yet again Righteous violence reigns absolute
The people gather round I can hear the rabid crowd I can feel their anxious eyes Waiting for me on the other side Time will judge us allTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
