My Kingdom Lyrics

The flag that I once planted as a king I abandoned
And now, I reclaim this banner by God
My sword and my name
In a truce sealed by blood within this metal skin
And all that I own
Blood, bone and courage in my veins and the heart that pumps it

Drink from the chalice and be reborn and the land with me
It will change and transform

A fighting man sworn to the quest
It is the doom of man that they forgot
I have awoken the dragon
And all around me the mist of his breath
Good and evil, there never is one
Without the other, his brother
Always there where I least expect it
It will burn me to cinders

The future's taken root in the present sun
Don't look into my heart, least of all your own No man who is false can win
In combat against the truth
When he lies, he murders
Some part of the world
We must find what was lost
Heart and home, wife and child
Were not for me, I was not yet done
I never knew how empty my soul was
Until it was refilled

Mad distemper strikes both beggars and kings
The necromancer's hard teachings of war and quest

I am given the right to bear arms
And the power to meet justice

I have lived through others for far too long
And carried my guild, my causes, my sins
I hope in the hereafter when I owe no more to the future
That I can be just a man
