Lyrics

intro

There comes a moment when a prince must choose between his own desires and those of the people. If he has enough strength, he'll become his own master

chant

The quest for endless glory
obsessed with making money
determined to have tha power
and fame that i've been hunting

Chorus

I want the glory
let the people sing my praises
tell my stories
as you marvel at my greatness
in time, you'll learn to worship me
and die for my dreams
now everybody on your knees
as you bow to your king

V1

Let my enemies tremble as they gaze upon my latest quest for glory
I begin tha story sendin my servants to fetch my armor for me
ceremonies filled tha night but this morning shall be historic
cuz we'll march to war, ignoring tha prophets and their fatal warnings
as i make my way to the exit
the peasants marvel at my presence
and the senators kneel in silence, suppressing their foolish questions
i gaze upon my endless statues knowin that i might regret this
but enough! glory calls!!
i look at my people and i address them
"Citizens! for too long these fools have escaped my oppression
an now tha Romans have offered peace?!, so of course i must reject it
soldiers! secure your weapons, steady your nerves and remember your lessons
and be ready to attack at the first sign of my aggression"
the women cry their tears, fearing that i won't return
still in shock, the elders beg me for caution but i'm not concerned
i'm just beginning to reach my prime, i'm still a diamond in the rough
and inside i know my kingdom alone just ain't enough

Chorus

V2

3 weeks later our armies meet on the sands by tha beach
i confront their leaders, trade insults then head back to my fleet
tha battle starts but i discard it as i rest by the trees
we're takin losses from a brutal charge led by their king
i see my soldiers taking a beating yet i'm eating delicacies
i could help but naaah... i'll wait til their time of greatest need
and just when things are lookin their worst
and they're pushin us back to tha sea
i charge into battle, snatching victory from the jaws of near defeat
their soldiers panic the second they see my face
as i slice through their comrades, freeing my rage
with tha flick of my wrist i'm releasing a wave of flames
and in an instant their leaders are slain
my soldiers chant my name as i swing my blades and quickly deplete their ranks
no time to scream in pain, as i seize the day i see their king escape
the others that flee in shame will be
cut down from behind as they try to retreat
and tha few enemies that survive then are forced
to kneel at the feet of the beast that is me
and if ya'll are thinking i'm satisfied, then ya'll just don't get it
cuz no, this victory means nothing
remember, i'm only in it for the (glory)

Chorus

bridge/chant

V3

As we plunder their kingdom, i sense their leader tryin to escape to freedom
if i can... there!! down by the shore, i see him retreating
an yeah, i could kill him now but there'd be nobody to see it
so I caught up wit him then politely asked him why he was leaving
i killed his guards then grabbed that coward as he was begging and pleading
then i dragged him back kicking and screaming in front of his people
and there i challenged him to a duel, the winner would rule the republic
tha natives begged him to fight me an stop the death and destruction
he pleaded for peace til i roared and slapped the fool in disgrace
he swung and missed then i broke his ribs before he could reach for his blades
as he fell to his knees i landed a roundhouse that shattered his face
an like that, the battle was over and i'd conquered his race
disappointed, i finished him off, severed his head and snatched his crown
in horror, his followers bowed as i sat on his throne and addressed the crowd
"I stand before you as the undisputed master of my kind
but i won't rest until i'm known as the greatest of all time"

Chorus
