Blade With No Name

Dear father, I'm sorry you're not proud
Sparta's hard enough for a dropout
You should've watched me fall down
Hit the ground runnin' - it's a marathon now
From marble, my heart's been carved out
Chiseled the doubt off, vision is sharp now
Don't bother the bull if you're not into horns
You're bringin' my inner Minotaur out

Knocked down and got frowned upon
Lost count of how far I've come
I tower on mount Olympus now
God will bow - Thunderclouds, begone
Fuck destiny, it never meant shit
Whats family? I've been neglected
Tossed off a cliff. left for dead
This rejected kid just got resurrected
If I wrote a poem it would be epic
Take notes, homer - I'm a legend
Cuz I descended from Leonidas
And my touch is twice as deadly as Midas'
One thing you're never gonna see
An army of 300 stopping me
Forget Ephors and Oracle prophecies
You're not in charge of me - Democracy
So far I don't got a creed
But stopping corruption is my philosophy
Geometry - I've got degrees
Smart - since when can a spartan read?
Yo Herodotus, come along with me
You don't wanna miss another odyssey
I'm an apologist for mythology
An Artemis reincarnate with archery
Poseidon retired, I got his seas
Hercules is a cheap knockoff of me
Cuz I'm capable of double the colossal feats
But I don't want a gold medal, let me don a wreath
You're not gonna get a branch from an olive tree
If you wanna start a public argument
I'll give you some of Socrates' hemlock to sip
Or Sparta kick you off this acropolis

I keep an eye locked on my target I've got Cycloptic focus
So I won't be spotted with the local drunken, lotus-eating homeless
I'll be the strongest of any legend to ever become historic
I am a warrior - doesn't mean I'm gonna be heroic

Broken down shamed and betrayed
Came back a blade with no name
I feel like changing the game
Your banal battle-cries are in vain
Fight not for glory and fame
Vengeance cannot be contained
You'll learn too late, I became
Much more than just a blade with no name

I'm like a colossus with no possible obstacle on earth to stop it
Have you heard how my grandpa
turned Xerxes armies into Persian carpets
This is his weapon that I wield, earned it - then learned to flaunt it
I hope you all brought a shield - so I can return you on it
Threaten me and I'll respond with
An effective phrase, in laconic
Then just like an ancient tongue
When I'm done with you, you'll be long forgotten
Now you're in deep, and you cannot swim
Blood in the water- shark fin
Sight like medusa - locked in
Ask my last victim- I rocked him

Malaka, hand over the artifacts
They're family heirlooms, I want 'em back
Apocalypse - I should be stopping that
Feel like Atlas, I got the world on my back
Forget the grace of gods, I already got a great cause
Restoring order doesn't mean I don't cause some chaos
With every combatant, I've battled as soon as both our blades cross
They get the labyrinth-look on em like they now that they lost
Predictable story, typical moral
Just like when Icarus learned he was mortal
When I ask "You ready for war"
If you didn't know, it's rhetorical
Who sees through the eyes of an eagle?
Who speaks for the silent and feeble?
Who leaps from the height of a steeple?
You sleep while she fights for the people
Like the song of a siren, she's lethal
Precise to the eye of a needle
Titanic, unrivaled, unequaled
Her creed is to die in a free world

Broken down, shamed and betrayed
Came back a blade with no name
I feel like changing the game
Your banal battle-cries are in vain
Fight not for glory and fame
Vengeance cannot be contained
You'll learn too late, I became
Much more than just a blade with no name
