The Outlaw reveals a few secrets, and refuses to fight for the king, even against the robot invaders.
lyrics
Heretic it's good to see you
All these years I thought I'd lost you... Still,
There's something you should know
One more deal to grant my freedom
"Where's the Stone of the Sky?" he said to me
I led him there, he left me there to die alone
But I remain, risen and vengeant
The gods have breathed new life, I've seen the light
The crooked crown will hang from my knife
It's too late the time has long since passed
It's not fight or die
Or run or die it's when and where and how he dies
Heretic, oh understand me
His majesty has secrets of his own
He's not unlike you, you know
Through his blood runs arcane power
Through his sword forbidden magic, still
He labeled you, he cast you out to die alone
This kingdom made us outcasts
Do you think I wanted this
The hypocrite king will burn in Hell for this
This battle isn't ours to fight
The greed of the sword mage king called forth those beasts
His kingdom means nothing to me
Take another step back and see what you're asking me to do
I'll never turn from my revenge
And I'm not running scared
I am never compromising
He paid me not in gold but in steel
And now it's time to pay my debt
Two for every one that he slipped into my back
They got him running scared
They got him where I want him now
It's haunting, dark, moody prog rock that alternately makes you want to plan the demise of the human race, bust out the whiskey and party, and go kick someone's ass. Also Mystakin is a great guitarist Single White Infidel
