Lyrics: I arrive in the city where they’ve unveiled a bust of my predecessor still much discussed We tried to forget him His crimes were catalogued But in the new circumstances once again he’s a god The past isn’t even past That’s how long it lasts I want them to fear me like everyone feared him Arrested and shot but still they revered him Like him I’ll win I won’t be eclipsed I want men to die with my name on their lips The past isn’t even past That’s how long it lasts I’m the living embodiment of a heart of stone A human monument to testosterone Though inside I’m dead it’s too late to lose I’m all they ever talk about on their news cycle of abuse I’m there on your borders Not gonna quit To new world orders I will never submit Call me a warmonger
