Game of Chess | Alpharius

Horus found me hidden, out of view
Saw in me what others never knew
Focused plans, aligned with skill
A measured mind, prepared to kill

(Lies!)

No voices raised, no need to show
The Legion moves where none will know
The greater goal, above the self
For the vision, without a trace

Each piece arranged for a cause
In this game of chess, we write the laws
The Hydra moves, in the dark nearby
I am Alpharius. This is a lie

The Emperor found me, hid out of view
Yet I was there, others never knew
I handled threats that lay ahead
Contained the risk before it spread

(Lies!)

They built their walls, I passed through gaps
Found paths unmarked on any maps
I watched the fortress they defend
And knew where open wars would end

Each piece arranged for a cause
In this game of chess, we write the laws
The Hydra moves, in the dark nearby
I am Alpharius. This is a lie

(This is a lie)
(This is a lie)
(This is a lie)
(This is a lie)
(We are Alpharius)

From here on out, you are Alpharius
A thousand moves, all part of us
For every play they think they see
Another shifts, holding the key

One end to rise, much blood will flow
Another decays what's left of the soul
The endgame begun, I control the board
Each piece deployed, my goal secured
The time has come, one move to go
He charges ahead, one last blow
We meet again, the final scene
Where nothing is quite as it seems

(Lies!)

Each piece arranged for a cause
In this game of chess, we write the laws
The Hydra moves, in the dark nearby
I am Alpharius. This is a lie

Each piece arranged for a cause
In this game of chess, we write the laws
The Hydra moves, in the dark nearby
I am Alpharius. This is a lie

(This is a lie)
(This is a lie)
(This is a lie)
(We are Alpharius)

We have many heads but we act as one
Our task remains, our work now begun
Each truth a mask, masters of guise
This was my record, and all the records are lies
