#only the deepest lyrics for 17yo eden

[edenlarkspur]

Here's a (super) rough draft of a song I wrote 10 years ago in high school- seemed appropriate to share today.

Lyrics under the cut!

Oh, Soothsayer, tell us what you know

Soothsayer, is it just for show?

Propaganda can shape reality

Make conspirators of devotees

What are we?

And we took turns stabbing the Emperor and watched him bleed before our eyes

and we took turns stabbing the Emperor and watched him bleed on the Ides

On the Ides of March, through the eyes of Mars

On the Ides of March, through the eyes of Mars

Oh, fair citizens, why this animosity?

Fair citizens, we've prevented tyranny

Love your coward, sure, but love us more

Havoc! Let slip the dogs of war

To the sea

And we took turns stabbing the Emperor and watched him bleed before our eyes

and we took turns stabbing the Emperor and watched him bleed on the Ides

Even you, even you, even you, even you

And you hurt worse than all of the others

For he loved you the most and you were just like your brothers

On the Ides of March, through the eyes of Mars

On the Ides of March, through the eyes of Mars

Oooooooh

We can't blame this one on the stars

The fault is ours, the fault is ours

It does not matter how

We are the tyrants now, we are the tyrants now

Even you, even you, even you, even you

And you hurt worse than all of the others

For he loved you the most and you were just like your brothers

On the Ides of March, through the eyes of Mars

On the Ides of March, through the eyes of Mars
