The Apostate
Born and raised in Sicily
He was orphaned by the age of four
An heir to a crumbling realm
The Holy Roman Emperor
Crowned by Honorius
To defend the holy see
And he shall be victorious
A champion for christianity
This is my kingdom of reason
There shall be justice for all
I'll build a fountain of wisdom
And shall forever be known
as the wonder of the world
He was supposed to take command
And join the fifth crusade
Charged to conquer the holy land
And honor the promise he made
He shall take Jerusalem
Without shedding a drop of blood
He's forging a pact with the sultan
Instead of fighting for a god
I Innocent, I declare
The self-confessed heretic
excommunicated
Your soul shall burn
In the flaming tombs
Trapped eternally
In the sixth circle of hell
For your heresy
you shall face damnation
I banish thee
Herald of the Antichrist
This is my kingdom of reason
There shall be justice for all
I'll build a fountain of wisdom
And shall forever be known
as the wonder of the world
He was orphaned by the age of four
An heir to a crumbling realm
The Holy Roman Emperor
Crowned by Honorius
To defend the holy see
And he shall be victorious
A champion for christianity
This is my kingdom of reason
There shall be justice for all
I'll build a fountain of wisdom
And shall forever be known
as the wonder of the world
He was supposed to take command
And join the fifth crusade
Charged to conquer the holy land
And honor the promise he made
He shall take Jerusalem
Without shedding a drop of blood
He's forging a pact with the sultan
Instead of fighting for a god
I Innocent, I declare
The self-confessed heretic
excommunicated
Your soul shall burn
In the flaming tombs
Trapped eternally
In the sixth circle of hell
For your heresy
you shall face damnation
I banish thee
Herald of the Antichrist
This is my kingdom of reason
There shall be justice for all
I'll build a fountain of wisdom
And shall forever be known
as the wonder of the world
