LYRICS:
My kingdom ancient and bright
Great pride of my dynasty
Has never been enough
For my royal ambitions
Since the day I sat on the throne
I have dreamt of a realm of gold
A nation so wide and strong
United under my crown!

In order to fulfill my plans
I will need to conquer the lands
Fight the armies of the other kings
Around my country
These ones have provoked me for too long
Now they will know whose their realms belong
Soon my gleaming banners will float on their walls

With honor and pride
I'll march upon these lands
And soon they all will fall
The kingdoms of my foes
They shall be mine
The castles and their kings
Shall bend before my crown
And people on their knees
Shall praise the mighty force
Of my new authority on their throne

Alas I think that time is far
When my soldiers will guard the walls
Of my rivals’ strongholds
Despite my army's force
The enemy owns legions
More numerous and mighty

Anyway, this will not stop my goals
I was born to rule the world
I shall honor the blood of my valiant forefathers
My will is made of iron
My might is made of steel
I will search for any greater power
That will make me win
With honor and pride
I'll march upon these lands
And soon they all will fall
The kingdoms of my foes
They shall be mine
The castles and their kings
Shall bend before my crown
And people on their knees
Shall praise the mighty force
Of my new authority on their throne

Let's send the messengers around the realm
So I can find a person who will grant me the power I need

In order to fulfill my plans
I will need to conquer the lands
And fight the armies of the other kings
Around my country
These ones have provoked me for too long
Now they will know whose their realms belong
Soon my gleaming banners will float on their walls

With honor and pride
I'll march upon these lands
And soon they all will fall
The kingdoms of my foes
They shall be mine
The castles and their kings
Shall bend before my crown
And people on their knees
Shall praise the mighty force
Of my new authority on their throne
