Brutus’ Prayer versuri

Versuri Grace Yurchuk – Brutus' Prayer lyrics

Father, give me one more lesson
How did it feel to be betrayed?
And when Pompey drew his weapon
Were you in shock? Were you afraid?

Father, I may share your namesake
Some even say your likeness too
But tomorrow, come the daybreak
Will I have the strength to act as brave as you?

You spoke of honour, remember then?
You never thought to be dishonest with a friеnd
You kept every oath you еver swore upon
Upheld your word, and now you’re gone

Did your father give you guidance?
Did he see what you could not?
Or did he watch you plot in silence
To fight the fight that he once fought?

Caesar’s hiding his ambition
To capture all within his sight
Would you hide from intuition?
This is virtuous, this is my right

He is a madman, he is no god
Won’t someone look beyond that bold façade?
If the answer’s in the stars, they’ve misaligned
Where is my omen, father? Where is my sign?

Did Pompey also climb the ladder?
And from the peak, did he turn back?
High above the noise and chatter
Was he the first to the attack?

Caesar took me in
Watch him take the throne
Caesar said that he trusts me
Rome will fall apart
Rome is in the dark
Caesar said that he loves me
Tell me what I am
Some honourable man
If my name is Brutus, then tomorrow
Caesar will die

And by his death, then, Rome will go on
I’ll carry out the deed like you would want
The story seems to always write itself
You kill the snake before it hatches out of the shell
Caesar would be king
Caesar would be crowned
You would never allow it
I will make amends
As it was again
Are you listening now? It’s Brutus
Make way for Brutus
Make way for Brutus
Make way for the Ides
