lyrics

You have had your time
You have had my soul
You have spoke your mind
Left me lack as coal

You have spread your hate
Hypocrisy your crown
Brother killing brother
Raping your renown

I have walked the thorns of time
The apostate, a sin sublime

If my demons die, I die
'Cause I am them and they are I

Your blackened heart is never wrong
Only the weak fears the strong

Narrative:

My strength lies in myself
My own power granted at birth
My worth lies not in my gender, as is your claim
I leave your acolytes in the filth of the swine
I am the Apostate
Architect of my own design

If my demons die, I die
'Cause I am them and they are I
