The Gadfly

Tradução

Helion Prime

Compositor: Helion Prime

Another socialite elected in to reign
Another gross injustice suffered to enable
This olden postulation bred by disdain
The moral of a mighty fist must be forsaken
They live their lives concerned with subjugation
Useless in their own naivety

And for honor
I'll make them look into the mirror

How do you sleep at night entangled by these chains?
The unexamined life is hardly worth the labor
So many questions sleeping soundly in your head
It takes a thoughtful mind to answer them instead
For thought you claim to know the truth
Surrounding your existence
To know that you know nothing makes you wise
So I'll play the role of the gadfly

As I continue to find
My way towards the light
Of virtue and grace
I learn to embrace
This momentary life
For everything, I've realized
Will aid me, assuage me
For the day I die

Undaunted by sentence to go towards the river
I walk like a soldier to war
No promise of freedom can ever be made
For my prison will always remain in life

So with honor and valor my ally
I'll play the role of the gadfly

Make certain my legacy

As a moral compass, I fight
To sway the minds of the titled on high
And with a sip of this blight
I will uphold what I know is right
For on this day, I die

I'll play the role
I will uphold
I'll fight the good fight
