Lyrics
Father, give me one more lesson
How did it feel to be betrayed?
And when Pompey drew his weapon
Were you in shock?
Were you afraid?
Father, I may share your namesake
Some even say your likeness, too
But tomorrow, come the daybreak
Will I have the strength to act as brave as you?
You spoke of honour
Remember then?
You never thought to be dishonest with a friend
You kept every oath you ever swore upon
Upheld your word
And now, you're gone
Did your father give you guidance?
Did he see what you could not?
Or did he watch plot in silence
To fight the fight
That he once fought?
Caesar's hiding his ambition
To capture all within his sight
Would you hide from intuition?
This is virtuous
This is my right
He is a madman
He is no god
Won't someone look beyond that bold faรงade?
If the answer's in the stars, they've misaligned
Where is my omen, father?
Where is my sign?
Did Pompey also climb the ladder?
And from the peak, did he turn back?
High above the noise and chatter
Was he the first to the attack?
Caesar took me in
Watched him take the throne
Caesar said that he trusts me
Rome will fall apart
Rome is in the dark
Caesar said that he loves me
Tell me what I am
Some honourable man
If my name is Brutus, then tomorrow
Caesar will die
And by his death then
Rome will go on
I'll carry out the deed like you would want
The story seems to always write itself
You kill the snake before it hatches out of the shell
Caesar would be king
Caesar would be crowned
You would never allow it
I will make amends
As it was again
Are you listening now
It's Brutus
Make way for Brutus
Make way for Brutus
Make way for the Ides
