Brutus
[00:26.46] I've been watching him for my entire life
[00:29.38] I hate the air he breathes
[00:30.72] His foolish decrees, his words so contrived
[00:33.38] And I hate the way the townspeople gather outside
[00:36.30] They hang on every breath
[00:37.63] Cling to his chest, home to his heart full of pride
[00:40.55] The oracle told him to beware the Ides
[00:43.21] And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't wishing for untimely death or demise
[00:47.19] Or am I just wishing I could be like you?
[00:49.85] That the people would see me too as a poet
[00:52.25] And not just the muse
[00:54.10] Oh it's not true, I don't wish harm upon you
[00:57.02] From birth we've been like brothers of different mothers
[00:59.15] Within the spirit of the same womb
[01:01.02] May the gods strike me down if I forsake you
[01:03.93] Frater meus, you're beautifully made
[01:04.64] And to you I'm forever grateful
[01:07.82] I'll never forget that you showed me to make art
[01:10.74] And I know the love you showed me came
[01:12.87] From a pure and noble heart
[01:14.72] I love you, and if you want, I'll call you king
[01:17.38] But why do I lie awake each night thinking
[01:19.50] Instead of you, it should be me?
[01:22.16] Something wicked this way comes
[01:24.28] And as I set to face it, I'm unsure should I embrace it, should I run?
[01:28.27] What motivates me? Hatred? Is it love?
[01:30.92] What's more wrong, that I too wish to be great
[01:33.32] Or my mother wished she'd had a son?
[01:35.98] And even if I can't be the one
[01:37.83] Maybe I could at least help make way for him
[01:40.22] Until the day that he comes
[01:42.88] Maybe my name could also be known
[01:45.00] That I helped return good to the people
[01:47.13] And restored greatness to Rome
[01:48.99] Brutus! Brutus! Brutus! Brutus!
[01:55.89] Brutus! Brutus! Brutus! Brutus!
[02:02.80] Brutus! Brutus! Brutus! Brutus!
[02:09.71] Brutus! Brutus! Brutus! Brutus!
[02:15.82] My name is Brutus and my name means heavy
[02:19.02] So with a heavy heart I'll guide this dagger into the heart of my enemy
[02:23.25] My whole life you were a teacher and friend to me
[02:26.17] Please know my actions are not motivated only by envy
[02:30.17] I too have a destiny
[02:31.76] This death will be art
[02:33.62] The people will speak of this day from near and afar
[02:37.07] This event will be history
[02:38.66] And I'll be great too
[02:40.26] I don't want what you had
[02:42.11] I wanna be you
[02:58.32] I always knew I could be the one
[03:00.44] Though I feel the endless pain of being
[03:02.46] And I am scorched by the sun
[03:04.59] Of humble origins and born of the cursed sex
[03:07.78] My name is Brutus, but the people will call me Rex
