Tyrant

A tyrant (Greek τύραννος, tyrannos), in the modern English usage of the word, is an absolute ruler unrestrained by law or person, or one who has usurped legitimate sovereignty. Often described as a cruel character, a tyrant defends their position by oppressive means, tending to control almost everything in the state. The original Greek term, however, merely meant an authoritarian sovereign without reference to character, bearing no pejorative connotation during the Archaic and early Classical periods. However, it was clearly a negative word to Plato, a Greek philosopher, and on account of the decisive influence of philosophy on politics, its negative connotations only increased, continuing into the Hellenistic period.

Falling further away
Into our abysmal
Decade of decay
No one can rectify
The life we want to stay
The uphill battle battle we call this
Being here today
It's a god-forsaken life I call
My degeneration
My degeneration
My degeneration
My degeneration
Fall to me and you will
Pay the price
Fall to me and you'll be
Immortalized
If I can't make you
More than you were meant to be
I'll drown you in your
Own animosity
Our own mortality
Thrown away for shekels
Thoughts and hopes are gone
Bound below in shackles
How'd it come to this
A king so mighty dethroned
I can't seem to cope
With this god-forsaken life I call
My degeneration
My degeneration
My degeneration
My degeneration
Fall to me and you will
Pay the price
Fall to me and you'll be
Immortalized
If i can't make you
More than you were meant to be
I'll drown you in your
Own animosity
Go
Fall to me and you will
Pay the price
Fall to me and you'll be
Immortalized
If i can't make you
More than you were meant to be
I'll drown you in your
Own animosity
Fall to me and you will
Pay the price
Fall to me and you'll be
Immortalized
If i can't make you
More than you were meant to be
I'll drown you in your
Own animosity
