FIEFDOM FALL - 14. Dynasty

[Verse 1]

A modern philosopher exiled from Athens

Ponders and pines it ever since

Reminiscing his life, before evanescence

Wonders what crime was committed

Almost four decades later, "Did what to deserve?"

In retrospect, "Why must I hurt?"

"I swear I was destined, was destined for greatness"

"But reluctant the gods are to give"

[Chorus]

So he passed his knowledge onto me

Along with the words: "Carry forth my legacy"

"I was cast 'to darkness too early"

"With ferns and orchids; confinement, solitary"

Now I pass his knowledge onto you

Like Aristotle, received from Plato the truth

To the past, my homage paid in full

Dear Aristotle, please, never forget these roots

[Verse 2]

This sentimental story about Socrates

Brought to me by persons from Greece

Might think, "Well, who am I; why allowed to be free?"

"While others cry, and long to be"

Nearly two decades Pinky, I don't think I've changed

Not gonna lie, might always stay

Though our teachings align, "not good enough" remains

Novelty tries, shit gets in the way

[Chorus]

Yet, he passed his knowledge onto me

Along with the words: "Long, long live this dynasty"

"I was cast 'to darkness too early"

"Don't let crown shyness seperate you from me"

Now I pass his knowledge onto you

Like Aristotle, received from Plato the truth

To the past, my homage paid in full

Dear Aristotle, please, never forget these roots
