Equivalent Exchange - This Is Your Creed lyrics

[Verse 1: Jerome Chance] Alone in a coma with a fragmented persona Mentally eroding like a spreading melanoma Mental blocks black, on verge of virtual collapse Abstergo's aperture entraps each and every last synapse Must resist the Animus, the tool of the enemy Extracting all the essences from your genetic memories Reliving sins of fathers is the best way to rewind The sunshine burned eternally upon a spotless mind You're an Assa**in, and this is your Creed Revelations from the past to set your mind free This is your Creed, foundations understood Be the second coming, and lead the Brotherhood This is your Creed, if you don't know you better learn Loyalty's rewarded, while leadership is earned This is your Creed, and this is how we do Everything's permitted, but nothing's ever true Parkour connoisseur, to the roof, from the floor Walking arsenal, hidden within the folds Don't refuse the new, but use the tools of old You know the game is d**h and yet you play, it's all you know With eagle eye vision find a needle in a stack It's k** or be k**ed until you fill the contract You gamble with your life, ‘cause failure's not allowed And melt into the city, the crowd is your shroud, this is your Creed [Hook: Nerdsworth] Welcome to the Animus, where Assa**in's life so treacherous These are legacies that stay with us, Ezio, Altaïr, so dangerous Better watch your back, can't afford to miss Templars on deck, got throats to slit It's Assa**in's Creed, don't plea, just bleed Eden's close, embrace d**h, on your knees The end is near, where your grave is your shadow And essence to souls, we are Where men are free, and thrones are eternal, we turn to Revelations [Verse 2] You're a cold k**er even though your cause is noble Underground rule, Istanbul to Constantinople Master of Assa**ins, more infamous by hours Make enough noise; they'll try to take your power You train all of your meant-to-be, the masters of their dens If you wanna run the fence, you pay the consequence But this is your turf, the Brotherhood defends Plus, currency tend to turn enemies to friends You bribe the city heralds and eliminate the emissaries Methods of subversion exponentially vary Only holding down by the amount of guilt you carry Underneath your skin deeper than any blade you bury From your roots on through your history, from Masyaf to Italy Tragedy and sorrow weighing heavier than diddly Take it out on anyone who rules by fear or greed ‘Cause are an Assa**in, and this is your Creed [Hook]
