The Apostate Lyrics

Born and raised in Sicily

He was orphaned by the age of four

An heir to a crumbling realm

The Holy Roman Emperor

Crowned by Honorius

To defend the holy see

And he shall be victorious

A champion for christianity

This is my kingdom of reason

There shall be justice for all

I'll build a fountain of wisdom

And shall forever be known

as the wonder of the world

He was supposed to take command

And join the fifth crusade

Charged to conquer the holy land

And honor the promise he made

He shall take Jerusalem

Without shedding a drop of blood

He's forging a pact with the sultan

Instead of fighting for a god

I Innocent, I declare

The self-confessed heretic

excommunicated

Your soul shall burn

In the flaming tombs

Trapped eternally

In the sixth circle of hell

For your heresy

you shall face damnation

I banish thee

Herald of the Antichrist

This is my kingdom of reason

There shall be justice for all

I'll build a fountain of wisdom

And shall forever be known

as the wonder of the world
