Ides of March
Steel Prophet Lyrics

Caesar, beware these days,
The seer warns Caesar to be careful and on guard during this time.

I pray thee, beware these days!
The seer urgently begs Caesar to heed their warning.

A vision, comes to the seer,
The seer has received a premonition or glimpse into the future.

It fills my brain, I see your pain
The vision is overwhelming and distressing, and shows Caesar suffering greatly.

The nineteenth, nineteenth of March,
The date of March 19th, known as the Ides of March, is significant and has been marked by the seer.

I see you've marked the Ides of March
The seer has specifically noted the importance of the Ides of March to Caesar's fate.

Kiss of the queen, bite of the snake
The metaphorical kiss of someone who appears friendly but is actually dangerous, coupled with the poisonous bite of a snake, indicate the treachery and betrayal Caesar will face.

I see your treachery filled fate
The seer's vision shows Caesar meeting a fate filled with deception and treason.

Go, run and fly free, your future I see
The seer advises Caesar to flee and escape the danger, as they have foreseen that he has a chance for a future elsewhere.

Dark blades you must flee
The danger is represented by sharp or cutting objects, and Caesar must avoid them in order to escape.

Go run and fly free, bad magic's to be
The seer warns Caesar of the magic or spells being used against him, and that he must flee them as well.

Fly free
The last line emphasizes Caesar's need to escape and be free from the dangers that await him.

Your friends, you thought so dear,
Caesar has trusted and considered these people to be his friends.

They plot your death
Despite their friendship, these people are conspiring to kill Caesar.

Your death's so near
The seer's vision indicates that Caesar's assassination is imminent.

In the dark, I see their faces,
The seer's vision shows the conspirators plotting in secret or in the shadows.

Such twisted faces, I see their faces
The faces of the conspirators are distorted and ugly in the seer's vision.

The magic, once strong and true,
There was once powerful magic on Caesar's side, but it has weakened or disappeared.

It seems to fade, fade from you
The magic has weakened or disappeared for Caesar specifically, leaving him vulnerable.

The strange ones, have now come,
New, unfamiliar, and possibly dangerous people have entered the picture.

They've come, coming for you
These people have come with the intention of harming or killing Caesar.

I see them gathered all around you,
The seer's vision shows the dangerous people surrounding Caesar, closing in on him.

You sense their greetings false
Caesar can tell that the people around him are not genuinely friendly or welcoming.

The smell of treachery sears the air
There is an overwhelming sense of betrayal and deceit in the air, making the situation even more dangerous.

I see you lying in your blood
The seer's vision concludes with a grim and ominous prophecy of Caesar's death by violent means.
