RAMSES II
Ramses II: Divine Conquest in Radical Rhapsody's Anthem
Lyrics
I gained the throne without royal blood
I ascended to the throne despite lacking royal lineage.
I cheated death while you bathed in mud
While you were mired in mundane activities, I evaded death.
Chariots of bronze could destroy you all
Although my powerful bronze chariots could annihilate all, I choose to offer peace as my strategy.
Yet I offer peace as my battle call
Despite my military might, I extend an olive branch as my approach to conflict.
Temples built
Monuments and structures dedicated to worship and power.
Mountain sides
On the slopes of mountains, symbolizing grandeur and dominance.
You can never touch me I'm a god
Claiming divine status, impervious to harm or influence.
I'm a god
Reiteration of divine status, reinforcing invincibility.
Son of Ra
Acknowledgment of being a descendant of the sun god Ra.
Pharaoh god
Asserting divine authority as a godly ruler.
I live on
Emphasis on eternal existence, transcending mortality.
You disturb the god King
Addressing disruptions to the divine order caused by challenges to the king's authority.
Destruction I bring
Announcing the potential for catastrophic consequences brought about by the king.
You've lost everything
Highlighting the profound losses suffered by those opposing the king.
Death on my wing
Symbolizing imminent death, with the king as the harbinger.
You've met the curse of the god king
Referring to the inevitable consequences faced by those who defy the king's rule.
Patron of everything
Positioning the king as the benefactor and protector of all aspects of life.
You will know suffering
Foretelling the experience of pain and hardship for those opposing the king.
You're on my puppet string
Describing control and manipulation, portraying opponents as puppets.
You disturb the god King
Reiteration of disruptions caused by challenges to the king's divine authority.
Destruction I bring
Reaffirming the destructive consequences brought about by the king.
You've lost everything
Re-emphasizing the severe losses suffered by those in opposition.
Death on my wing
Reiterating the inevitability of death, likening it to the king's influence.
