23 KNIVES Lyrics

Here's an old folks tale from way back then

That I doubt the new world will tell ya

There were these two kids from the Roman age

One smart and rebellious, the other

Led his life by the wind, traveled through time

Just to find signs in the sin

Both trained in a day, but hated they were friends

But that didn't really matter cause they both wanna win

One schemed, one tracked it

One's royal, one acted

And when you put them together, out of sight

Then history gets to clashing

It's a shame they only coined one person

By a merge of actions

I suppose that's what it takes

When you put another ahead of your passion

While he grows up, the other, sits at the side

Mentoring and saying what he needs to use

Seldom see from anybody on the outside

Cautious as a ruler's never two only one

But deep down he's brewing a different approach

As he hypes up his partner while hiding the notes

Looking for cracks in this fool's presentation

Careful what he's saying and what he's shows him to do

What makes you king while you're living inside of my world

Playing outside of my eyes

With the base of your rule crumbling down

One day you'll run out of time

As a decade passed, he sees the man that he made a warrior

But deep down there's a peaked nerve

Thou fate of thy people much gorier

Seen through the eyes of euphoria

He's sensing a pattern in time

Each step taken there laws broken to be rewritten by crime

Then find out by chance he gets capture

In fact, they're now raising the ransom

Why fight to protect this idiot, thy kingdom is weak and vacant

Meanwhile there's talk from the senate

They're whispering slow of power and malice

For the very first time just then I realized

Thy can finally be mentioned

In a room with these molded hearts, an fickle people

I suggest action, that will stop and cease it all

If you truly fear his capabilities, then listen closely

The only way to kill a madman is through a guy like me

I reveal his intentions in darkness

His love, his Achilles, hidden strength, an his profits

The person I trained became the person I hunted

Such a shame how turned, hope when done I'm not haunted

What makes you king while you're living inside of my world

Playing outside of my eyes

With the base of your rule crumbling down

One day you'll run out of time

Fast forward, now the story gets good

See him now, pull out the toga

Notice the time, as he moves for the purpose

While most fear death, he preps for the closure

All for, his long lost friend, ha, more so for the end

With a trail of gold, one thought bought pride

But it really helped my way back in

First move I did, act of faith but I moved so sly

Boosted his ego and planted routines of sabotage

Talking to people, giving them purpose

What I do, not being locked inside this chamber

Waiting for you, ceas

I'm bout to roll with three G's

That's Gold, Grief, an the Greek

I'm walking up with an army

I raise my head when I speak

To push wide open the doors

You're looking at me in shock

It's like I told you when kids

The throne was always the spot

Oh you're wondering why well here

Look at this dagger, it represents what you stole

It holds our time in this matter

Place my hold on this kingdom

I had to cut em some profit

Take a stab at the ruling, get it? We got em!

What makes you king

Why you're living inside of my world

Playing outside of my eyes

With the base of your rule crumbling down

One day you'll

One day you'll

What makes you king

While you're living inside of my world

Playing outside of my eyes

What makes you king

When the base of your will has been burned to the ground

Finally, your throne is mine
