[Intro]
I'm planting the seed
Of the family tree
By my hand minds are freed
Not a man, I'm a Creed
I am the voice that beckons
Pharaohs unto their doom
Knowledge and choice my weapons
Sending you to your tomb

[Chorus]
I am the lonely wolf who stalks you in the night
I am the eagle circling up in the sky
My name is just a mask that I can hide behind
Born into revolution, and I'm not takin' sides
Tell me, how do you sleep at night after all the things you've done?
Now it's your turn to run

[Verse 2]
I'll show you why
You won't survive the night
Just before you die
Look in my eyes and see the lights
You know I'm the one
And where I come from
I'm the reason that people like you should run
You knew from the start, on the day that you die
That I'd be the one who's by your side
[Bridge]
The black flag is rising
Seeking retribution
He walks among pirates
His virtue is silence
His craft is illusion

[Build]
This is the dawn of war
We're knocking on your door
I'd fall upon my sword
Before I call off this war

[Verse 3]
That dude is fly, with that suit and tie, he don't mess around (Don't mess around)
She's by his side, nowhere to hide
When they come to town
There's Assassin their veins
Every Templar will be slain
A time to live, a time to fight
Now, it's your time to die

[Refrain]
I'll show you why you won't survive
Just before you die, you look in my eyes and see the light
You know I'm the one
And where I come from
I'm the reason why people like you should run
You knew from the start, on the day that you died
That I'd be the one who's by your side
[Verse 4]
When they made me, I broke the mold
Cast out, and now I'm on my own
If you could see the light from here
Your conscience would not be so clear
Take your best shot, won't shake me down
And just forsake me now

[Chorus]
I am the lonely wolf who stalks you in the night
I am the eagle circling up in the sky
My name is just a mask that I can hide behind
Born into revolution and I'm not takin' sides

[Post-Chorus]
I only want my life back, it can't get worse
I speak a voiceless language and these are my words
But I don't need your laws and I don't need your rights
I'll always live by the Creed until th—

[Refrain]
I'll show you why you won't survive
Just before you die, you look in my eyes and see the light
You know I'm the one
And where I come from
I'm the reason why people like you should run
You knew from the start, on the day that you died
That I'd be the one who's by your side
