If I were the king for but a day
I’d tell the knights to hurry
To rally behind my bannermen
As their squires squeak and scurry

We’re not going for the dragon
For he’s done nothing wrong
He took some cattle I don’t care
We’re not fighting for that song

The song they’ll sing for us my men
Will be sung for a thousand years
It’ll echo throughout great halls
And bring the strongest of them tears

Our ships will cut through the seas
Our shields broad and strong
Our horses are all well kept
Our spears, sharp and long

We’ll **** on every mountain
Our **** will raise the seas
We’ll tread the soul of every thing
That would bring Gaia to her knees

And when our names are uttered
Through the quivering lips of cowards
And the winds carry our names
To the ears of those in towers

They’ll sow their hands in vain
Wringing for a savior
They’ll try to buy us off
They’ll display their worst behavior

As your king I command you
Set alight these soulless pillars
These temples to depravity
These ****** and these killers

Pour their gold into the streets
Let the paupers get their share
Take only with you what you need
Leave the excess where you care

Let us start anew
As my reign comes to an end
Remember here what happened
And write of that my friend
