Lyrics by Tom Warrior
Lend me your steel-bearing hand
So I may reign the jewel throne
My soul feels the gods’ demand
As the lost kings uphold my side
Blood and sand
Mark their way
The usurper’s tears
Guide my sword
Fantasia slept in my thoughts
As I was a son of infinity
The emperor, forgotten, rests in my dreams
As, back to the wall, I start my conquest
Blood and sand
Mark their way
The usurper’s tears
Guide my sword
Innocence and wrath
Now lie far beyond
As we cross the deserts
To reach the fortress’ gates
Tragic serenades
Are whispered in the wind
As eyes in fury
Grant us our strength
throning on the dignity of might
But the successor is to enter the hall
False truth saw them climbing the steps
But I remain the jewel throne’s choice
Blood and sand
Mark their way
The usurper’s tears
Guide my sword
