The tyrant is a child of PrideWho drinks from his sickening cup Recklessness and vanityUntil from his high crest headlongHe plummets to the dust of hope.

The tyrant is a child of Pride
Who drinks from his sickening cup
Recklessness and vanity
Until from his high crest headlong
He plummets to the dust of hope.
