lyrics

Against the voice of the masses, they fought;
Democracy as rule by lynch mob is what they taught.

Croton dominated Sybaris to the North,
Through the power of mind rather than of the sword,
Whence the high elite proposed a democratic constitution,
Which itself represented democratic revolution.
Pythagoras considered the proposal in his mind,
Where he found that the idea was entirely assinine.
Vesting power in the masses is known as inefficient,
And a great autocracy would be surely beneficient.

Then the sun will set over Croton,
The folk tire of his ways - of his ways.
The greatest mind in all of time,
Approaches the end of his days - of his days.

Enemies travelled in the dead of night,
To the meeting house in Milo, setting it alight.

Then the sun will set over Croton,
The folk tire of his ways - of his ways.
The greatest mind in all of time,
Approaches the end of his days - of his days.

And so he ran from the burning house,
Unto some other place - other place,
But he came to a field of beans,
And halted in disgrace - in disgrace.
Now these men were upon his back,
He accepted his fate - his fate.
As they struck their swords upon his flesh,
His soul would dissipate,
His skin now breaks,
He shall not wake,
The hour is late.

The death of a sage.
