Hegemon

Our guardian angel
Created to defend
By creating their end
An enemy of hell
Eyes and ears of stone
A clockwork brain
That's full of pain
Too many sins to atone

He spreads his wings to protect
With them he crushes the weak
We reach out to him to elect
His power is what we seek

Beloved by all
Revered by none
Has his kingdom come?
Is this his final fall?
Ropes cut at his arms
Little men gather round
His fists the ground pound
His people come to harm

He spreads his wings to protect
But with them crushes the weak
We reach out to him but
He is not what we seek

He spreads his wings, pushes against the stone
The grinding, snap of flesh and bone
Following his everlasting orders
Protect and seal his firm borders
Blindly lashing, rashly smashing
People flee in rain of tears
Sobbing, he falls to his knees
Surrendering to his fears

The axe falls, hacks off his wings
They fall, helpless little things
The sword swings, cuts through his skin
Releasing his beloved kin
The spear stabs, pierces his brain
Out pour the children of Cain
The hammer blows, crushes his heart
His empire ends, he falls down hard

He is remembered, not forgotten
Every little detail
A new angel begotten
This one we will not fail
