El Caro Close to the Rotting Tree lyrics

They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, you made your offer while looking straight through me, it's been almost twenty years since your father took the life of mine, you say it won't be long til you follow right behind,
we'll go, when it's our time, write this down, mark these words, his life, wasn't wasted in his youth, call your arms,
It's been almost forty years since you father made his rise, but your reign of tyranny won't last through the night,
I put the offer throughout the town, your head on a pike, your rule coming down, don't try to run now, don't try to hide, years of retribution are coming back alive,

And when I take my place upon your throne, waves of people who are now my own, the nights will turn to day, the shackles be released, with the past a reminder to never repeat.
