lyrics

did you feast your eyes on the fleshy prize? was there blood on the lens, was revenge on your mind, was it the sin of pride, or were gods on your side, did they kill off your friends, did they end their own lives, I watched the poets die and their mothers cry, i smelt the burning of the ides, i saw the flaming of the sky and the earth divide, i smelt the burning of the ides
did you enjoy the ride, are you filled up with lies, would you do it again? would you eat them alive? was it the suicides of the gods you denied or the deliberate cleansing of the weakest in line? I saw the poets die and heard their mothers cry, i smelled the burning of the ides, i saw the flaming sky and the earth divides, i smelled the burning of the ides...liberate us...
