The Word And The Will

Gold is the peak which pierces the sky
Housing the blood of the chosen divine
From cradle to throne, ordained to command
Charged with the ordering of man

Now comes the time foretold by the seers
A God-vessel dies, the hour draws near
Primed is the host to inherit the claim
Preserving the line of the dynasty's reign

By the sacred rites

I am the order; the ruler of kings
I am the word and the will
Hero of warriors, hope of the priests
I am the promise fulfilled

Borders defiled, defining frontiers
The wild shall be tamed – reclaimed by the spear
Hierarchs and heathens all brought now to bay
Unite with the empire or fade

Out from the gates, the legions will march
Harvesting lives from the realms of the dark
Brought under one hand, power obscene
Battery fuel for the deity machine

On the wheel of time

I am the order; the ruler of kings
I am the word and the will
Hero of warriors, hope of the priests
I am the promise fulfilled

Ocean to ocean - everything under the sky
A birthright dominion - the kingdom of space and of time
Savior and sovereign - power beyond world's end
Transcend creation - to die and live again

Fire
In flesh be joined and bound
By crown and throne be cursed
Forever of the stars
Returning from the earth
Until the day foretold
Unto the gates of dawn
Upon infinite tongues
The tale lives on and on

By the sacred rites
On the wheel of time
Under the all-seeing eye

I am the order; the ruler of kings
I am the word and the will
Hero of warriors, hope of the priests
I am the promise fulfilled
