Death to Amasis #
Background #
This is a song Ophidian released on his own bandcamp but wrote it with Kate while she was still under the name Hayley Jane. It was performed live on S01E20055. Kate wrote most of the lyrics and rapped it for Ophidian so he could learn it. She said at the time it was made, he was severely lacking in rhythm, but has improved quite a bit since.
We wrote that… That was one of the first projects we released- That was one of the first projects we made together. It was released in… Oh my god! That was so soon into us dating! Geez! Um. It was released six… less than six months into our relationship. Like, about six months into our relationship we wrote that song together. … We almost broke up over that song. We were very, um… It was a lot of fighting. We did not know each other very well when we were writing it, and we definitely, yeah, we definitely got into a big, um… Not fight. We got into many, uh, disagreements over it. And that was sort of where we started learning out- learning how we were going to work together.

Intro:
Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit
Death from the original dinner, the snake spirit
Verse 1:
At high noon I killed Amasis
Shocked the masses
Left him lifeless and maskless
The funky pharaoh thought he had the control
Like Shang tsung I had to steal your soul
In front of my eyes I watched the victories fade
My dream was unmade, this team was so fake
Despite being woven from the same thread
You're Better off dead with a kick to the head
It was the end of the round
Your Life bar was beaten down
Like bane versus the bat
You lay broken on the mat
You should've listened when stone cold told ya
Don't trust anyone especially a cobra
Im Not some pet that dances for his master
The pharaoh was asking for a barbershop disaster
You made us fools I still hear the laughter
Was world's dumbest redneck the title you were after
Used and abused, tattered and torn
I was left badly beaten by the twelve summit tour
I was fighting battles that were meant to be yours
I had no choice but to settle the score
Damn Right I'm the villain and I just clocked in
I cant deny I've got some devils Within
My head full of voices,My hands full of sin
It's an insult to say you were Osirian
Chorus:
Strike first strike fast strike hard
Only after disaster
Can we be resurrected
Strike first, Strike fast, Strike hard
Those without discipline
Die without honor
Pre verse:
If your name was wahoo
Break your leg is what is do
And if superman can't walk
Then why should you!
Verse 2:
Let me remind you what we came here for
Under the sign of Osiris we were born
Soldiers trained in the art of war
I closed the portal to acquire final form
My venom mystifies like the Wizard of Gore
I get more boos than a liquor store
I strike with the force of a pharaoh's army
Not even UltraMantis could destroy me
I rule this ring with an iron claw
Wreckin luchadors like my name was jaws
Call me Judge Dredd I am the law
When your up against snake style War is raw Cause I
Strike First, Strike Fast, Strike Hard
Off with their heads checking off my death list
Grim reaper armed to the teeth with red mist
When your in the clutch, you will submit
This is real life fool, their is no twist
Just a fade to black, Amasis ain't comin back
Finished him off in mortal kombat
Don't need a referee, No ones counting to three
I killed Amasis, flawless victory
The snake spirit lives forever in me
Ophidian wins, Fatality
Chorus
