Monarch

Breathe the embers in
And heed their warning on your skin
Watch as dawn decays
A herald for the end of days

Hear the anguished calls
As darkness breaks through iron walls
Soon the bells will chime
Toll out for vengeance one last time

One by one each spirit fails
With havoc cutting winding trails
Beneath the moonlight bleeding pale

But over hills of cobblestone
Where winds of reckoning are blown
A single soldier stands alone

My people bow your heads
Our city burns, our king is dead
And dust is all that in their stead remains
But raise the banners high
Take arms and scream your battle cry
The monarch comes to claim this throne again

March towards the fray
Courage to keep the beast at bay
Soon their backs will bend
To the dominion we defend

One by one as spirits fail
With chaos cutting crimson trails
Beneath the moonlight gleaming pale

Just over hills of cobblestone
Where seeds of destiny are sown
A single soldier stands alone

And as blazes are trampled
Under our feet
The horns that played their advances
Sound their retreat
Then rising up from the ashes
To honor we run
Banded together as one

My people lift your heads
Though city burns, and king is dead
We fight for all that in their stead remains
So, wave the banners high
Take arms and scream your battle cry
Your monarch comes to claim his throne again
