Epica - Deter The Tyrant Lyrics






Shield the monocrat and
better fulfill his needs and wield his sordid means
Thank you for all, torture and maul
which only keep it running

We condemn disruption
we should fight for liberation now!
(Liberate us now!)

Breed the egoist and
give him then all he needs and feed his vicious greed
thank you, we call for chaos
and leave us all alone, resigned

We condemn corruption
we should fight for abdication now!
(Abdicate us now!)

When an action bids retraction to begin
you will feel what it's like to suffer for your sins
we will commence

Yield the ruffian then
Give him the call that he needs and field his children now
for they'll recall, once and for all
this farce is everlasting

We condemn suppression
we should fight this aberration now!
(Fight suppression now!)

When an action bids retraction to begin
you will feel what it's like to suffer for your sins
temptation has destroyed so many brilliant minds
fate pays the deviant with agony in kind

The lies you've spread
for blood you've shed
you'll have to justify
Enslaved to reign
heartless, insane
you'll have to pay the price

Words fail now!
The truth is hard to comprehend!

Vile secrets were kept in the dark
avoiding social unrest

Words fail now!
The truth is hard to comprehend!

Wild efforts to gag dissidents
will ever fail in the end

We condemn aggression
we could find our destination now
find it here somehow

We will commence
Your chance is now

  3. s.... l....

    i love you epica but just leave politics alone cuz you have no idea whats realy going on...

    s.... l....

    scrub lord Honestly it looks like you are the one that has no clue here 😂

  4. G.... M....

    I think you will find America is the tyrant here

  5. J.... P....

    and there are still ones that claim, that this album is their weakest ..... NOT AT ALL

  6. P.... B....

    So apparently the US "liberated" Lybia and now there's chaos and terror everywhere in this country. Gaddafi was no bad guy after all I guess...

    P.... B....

    @hamza jamal good comment to some extent it is true

  7. O.... D....

    woah, epica doing all political songs??

    not listening them any more.....

    O.... D....

    Have you not been listening to any of Epica's albums? Many of them ARE political.

    O.... D....

    he should go listen to instrumental songs.

    O.... D....

    Is it really necessary to announce that you're not listening to them anymore? Because no one really cares.

    O.... D....

    Music with brain is not for everyone. Go listen Daddy Yankee then.

    O.... D....

    @strange person, my thoughts exactly.

  8. w.... ....

    3:50
    Translation from Arabic- Former ruler of Lybia Qaddhafi:
    We'll be looking for them in millions in order to clean Lybia, from an inch to inch, house to house, buliding to building, avenue to avenue, individual to individual .. Until Lybia is clean of all dirts
    -----------------
    Part two: 5:06
    Time to work, time to move, time for a victory, no retreat. Move forward, revolution X3

    w.... ....

    x3 :D :D :D

  9. G.... T....

    The best song of this album!!

  10. J.... R....

    3:29 is wrong, he says "this war will come to an end"

    also, for those who don't know, this song is about the Arab spring, and at more than one place in the song the voice of the former insane dictator of libian can be heard saying some of his infamous quotes about how he'll put a stop to this revolution while killing the people like rats.

    J.... R....

    no, it is the lyrics from the booklet itself.

    J.... R....

    @Iam awesome you are right it's about Arabic spring ,and that voice is of lybia leader

    J.... R....

    The highest meaning is fight againt materialism (both philosophical and consumerism), indifference, fundamentalism, all these ignorant things. While the tyrant being the evil being which is the reason for most of humanity's problems. Arab Spring is ultimately his doing. The truth is hard to comprehend

  11. D.... ....

    epica is fucking awesome! this was definitely one of my favorite songs!
