Konrad Curze - Crowned by Night

Patreon - https://patreon.com/Elderfury?utm_med... In the dark of Nostramo… Justice was born without mercy. I did not choose the night. The night chose me. Born beneath a dead black sky No sun, no hope, no law A world of fear and endless crime Where screams became the law I learned the truth from broken bones From alleys filled with lies That fear can stop the wicked heart When justice always dies I saw the future, clear and sharp Like knives inside my mind All paths end soaked in blood and sin No mercy left to find I am the fear you need to live The end you must obey I am not cruel, I am the truth That lights the darkest way They call me monster, fiend, and curse But I see what they deny Peace is born from terror first That is the reason why The Emperor came dressed in gold Spoke of hope and law But hope is weak where men are beasts And law is just a flaw He wanted smiles, he wanted faith I showed him what I knew That only fear can shape the mass When morals break in two My Legion wore the face of dread Bat wings, red stained hands Not heroes born of shining light But killers who understand I am the fear you need to live The sin you won’t confess I break the spine of wicked men So millions suffer less I do not kill for love or joy I kill because it’s true A peaceful world is built on screams And I must see it through “I wanted to be a hero…” “…but look what justice needs to be.” “I am not mad.” “I am right.” “I judged myself long before you did.” My visions showed my final end My father’s hand, my fall I walked the path I always saw I never fought it at all For if the future cannot change Then guilt is just a chain I became what I was meant to be To prove the truth of pain I let them hate, I let them judge Their knives were always near For in the end, my death would prove That fate is crystal clear I am the fear you need to live The shadow of your lies You preach of hope, I show the cost Behind your noble cries If evil falls by greater evil Then let my name be cursed I was the blade that cut the rot So mankind bled out first “Death is nothing compared to vindication.” I was never insane… I was honest. And honesty… Is the cruelest thing of all.
