01. Intro - I Am Hector (Spoken Word)
Redeem me
For I am Hector
Strayed by anxiety/
I vociferate for the weak
Mercy, I will not plead
Enchained by society/
Come forth death
Since I seek renaissance
I am too late for revival/
My ancestors before me
Deemed a loser against the economic battle
Yet deemed champion for cultural survival/
I stand mightily against a legion that of a size of a tidal/
Others rage I should stay and pray
But vengeance to me, is vital/
But of course, I do fear
But my tears shall not control my actions
Nor dismiss my crusade against this evil/
I have seen my brothers fall
As the treacherous stand tall
I will avenge for my people/
I will plead a savior
I will plead a hero/
Against me, a million
Those I lead, zero/
Lurking beneath the shadows
I am dragged by a demon
Raging for me to fall before my own knees/
But behind the crimson eyes of this beast,
I see that he does not demand, he instead pleads
So he can be seen as the beast by all
But instead, I will sow a seed/
A seed that represents the hate
Page by page/
Rage after rage/
And conceive liberty to those who refused me to lead/
Even though I, alone, battled society
As I crawled beneath the trenches/
I shall not deem my position to theirs
Nor baffle and wave needles, chainsaws, swords, and wrenches/
To be forgiven, you must forgive.
Abandon vengeance/
May the skies sing
May the bells of liberty ring
For this is Redemption/
