Et Tu Brutus

Didn’t you hear the people sing?

“All hail Caesar, for Caesar is our king!”

But three times, he declined.

And set his pride aside

Yet for you, the sound of his tyranny rings.

Et Tu Brutus

Is this the path you’re on?

One life for the people

So they’ll sing of their freedom

Is it honor you search for?

Is it justice you gave?

A man climbing ambition’s ladder

But a man all the same.

And as you looked up to the stars

That night

Did you find, the North star’s

unflickering light?

Did his lack of change, change you?

Was he merely a serpent which grew?

Or did you take a bite from the hand which had kindly fed you?

But for the people of Rome

You now choose how his story goes

So et tu Brutus

Oh how power has changed you

You’re one with the people

But Caesar did love you

Did you think of all his glory?

His wife and children mourning

So et tu Brutus

A friend that’s proven true

More honor to you.
