Martigena, son of Mars

(Obitus Diutinus)

Music and arrangements by Fredrik Hermansson

Lyrics by Daniel Gildenlöw



Mr. Money:

I woke up today

Expecting to find all that I sought

And climb the mountains of the life I bought

Finally I'm at the top of every hierarchy

Unfortunately there is no one left

But me



I woke up today

To a world that's ground to dust, dirt and stone

I'm the king upon this withering throne

I ruled every forest, every mountain, every sea

Now there're but ruins left to rule for me

And... you see, it beckons me;

Life turned its back on us

How could you just agree?

...how? I just don't see...



I woke up today

To a world devoid of forests and trees

Drained of every ocean, every sea

Just like a useless brick upon the shore

The morning after the storm

That swept the bridge away

Relentless tide

No anger

Just this relentless time

That calls us all on

But...



I'm never crossing that line

Leaving this world behind

I will stay on my own

On this bloodstained throne

I rule the ruins and wrecks

And the dust, dirt and stone

I rule rage rod and rattling of bones



I am on my own

I am all alone

Everything is gone

Stuck forever here

Already cold



I'm never crossing that line

Leaving this world behind

I will stay on my own

On this bloodstained throne...



I'm never crossing that line

Leaving this world behind

I will stay on my own

On this bloodstained throne

I rule the ruins and wrecks

And the dirt and the dust and the stone

I'm the ruler of rage rod and rust

And the rattling of bones

Ruler of ruin

I rule the ruins (ad lib)
