Intro
Em A D G
Em A D G
Down the centuries, I was at their side
Em A D G
With a song to glorify their genocide’s
Em A D G
Always knowing but never appearing too wise
Em A D G
Always had a rhyme to hide their lies
Em A C
Here I am - just for you
Em A C
Here I am - here stands the fool
Em A D G
I plot with pretenders and princes,
Em A D G
And I will shed a tear on the loser's grave
Em A D G
And some advice for you, if I may
Em A D G
It's better a knave than a slave
Em A C
Here am I - just for you
Em A C
Here am I - here stands the fool
Em A D G
To conspire and devour
Em A D G
That's how these empires are lost and won
Em A D G
I bow my head humbly to mistress and sire
Em A D G
And I will still be alive with the rising of the sun
