The song "I'm the Creed" by JT Music is inspired by the Assassin's Creed video game series. The lyrics depict the perspective of a member of the Assassin Brotherhood, a secret organization that fights for justice and freedom throughout history. The song begins with the narrator introducing themselves as an assassin who can wrap their enemies in linen and bury them after stabbing them in the back, reminiscent of Caesar's assassination. They bring the wrath of a biblical plague, claiming to have the power of a god (Yahweh) and wielding hidden blades for justice. They proclaim that their actions become part of history, even rotting away the mummies. The lyrics mention Anubis, a god of death from Egyptian mythology, suggesting that the narrator is killing off enemies like a dying party. They mention being a frequent flyer, implying that they travel extensively to eliminate their targets. The mention of Osiris, an Egyptian god of the afterlife, suggests that the narrator shows no forgiveness for those who rule with tyranny. The narrator reveals themselves as the last Medjay, referring to Bayek, the protagonist of Assassin's Creed Origins. They talk about rivers running with the blood of sins and compare it to drinking red wine, suggesting that they cleanse the world of evil. In a confrontational tone, they challenge those with power, insinuating that they are mere puppets. The lyrics also delve into the historical conflict between the Assassins and Templars. They mention the protagonist's DNA being a recording device, implying that memories from ancestors are passed down through genetic memories. The narrator plans to collect their own genetic memoirs as a way to remember the Templars in the future. The song takes a moment of solitude atop the Giza Pyramid, symbolizing the narrator's isolation as a lone assassin. They consider themselves the lion, hunting their prey and showing that even gods can be defeated. They use torture and mummification as methods of punishment, inscribing the Assassin's Creed on the headstones to mark their actions. The lyrics emphasize the long-lasting fight between the Assassins and Templars, suggesting that it has endured for 40 days and nights or more. The narrator takes pride in designing sarcophagi, indicating that they are planning the demise of their enemies. They set sail to continue their mission, leaving chaos and desecration in their wake. Overall, the song portrays the mindset and actions of an Assassin Brotherhood member, emphasizing their commitment to free minds from oppression, their role in shaping history, and their relentless pursuit of justice.
