Lyrics[]

Once we lived in harmony, but it seems so distant now
Even though it wasn’t long ago, were all doomed to plague and death
Working hard from dawn ’til dusk
But that ain’t enough for him
Product of unholy love, untrue brother of a king

Know that you’ll fail, now hear us hail
Your brother that you killed

Hail to the king that brought peace to us all
Rise from your grave, hear our call
We’ll not forget that you once saved our land
Killed by your own brothers hand

Pure evil and cruelty, the true nature of your soul
Mercy and responsibility, words that you can’t understand
Your quest for total control will only end in your own fall
We will fight for our freedom, and our right to live

Do it your way, soon you will pay
Debts with your own blood

Stars so bright, dance in the night
Day come soon, hide the moon
Stars so bright, dance in the night
Day come soon, killing the moon

Morning breaks it’s time to march, to the castle of betrayal
Bring your sword, wield your armour, we won’t take this anymore
Kill the tyrant he must die, for his falseness and his crimes
Strike him down, and slay his guards, and his ministers as well

Done it your way, now you will pay
Debts with your own blood
