Mithras Lords And Masters Lyrics

I see you - the many
United you stand against me
Me the divine creator
You dare challenge my might
How can the flock
Challenge me, the shepherd?
Risk all just to be rid of me
Thy lord, thy ruler

Lord of the condemned
Show the might of your minions
I challenge thee, oh lord divine
Die with gracious dignity

I see you- the lord
The tyrant that rules thy nobles
Unity of my thousands
Against your treacherous plots
How can your lowly few
Withstand our vast numbers
All shall battle for me
The leader, the master

Fiendish traitor
I shall dispatch
Your taunts weaken me not
You shall be crushed
In glorious combat
And I'll retake all that's mine

Oh feeble, lords and masters
I heed not your rule
Alone I stand against all
In the greater knowledge
Dear lords and masters
You know little of me
My knowledge grows vast of you
As does your ignorance of me

L: This track starts to show the more melancholic elements in the melodies and arrangements coming to the forefront on the record. I always saw 'Worlds...' as a journey from a dark, foreboding chaotic place, to a serene yet somewhat mournful place, and this song marks the change from the earlier dark, obscure sounding tracks to the more blazing and searching sounding ones that come after. I'm really happy with the progressive yet extreme drumming and the really choppy guitars and complex riffs that characterise this track, it was really cool to record and sounds great live.
R: This track shows the idea that the human race will always focus on challenging each other and not really look much beyond their own existence. Always fighting for power and control, yet if they looked a bit further they could achieve so much more. The ending sections are a sad lament almost, of the Councillor realising what has become of mankind and how many are doomed to die.
