King Of Rome

On the field I can see him riding inspired
All those legends that we have heard in our youth
Now it's time to stand, measure ourselves against him
Back to the french lines, "vive l'empereur!"
It's my desire to defend the name back to the fire, "vive l'empereur!"
What I require was refused again

But as my thoughts return to home and what's ahead
I was a slave to what my family forged
Thoughts of my son, I will not fail him now
I'll pass the light, give him all the might
He'll be the king of rome
I'll pass the light safely through the night
He'll be the king of rome

From the battlefield, I ride to my place of command
There at the hilltop (thinking of your son)
The heir-apparent, your time will come
There in my shadows (no hope you can see)
I'll fight despite them, too much is at stake

But as my thoughts return to home and what's ahead
I was a slave to what my family forged
Thoughts of my son, I will not fail him now
I'll pass the light, give him all the might
He'll be the king of rome
I'll pass the light safely through the night
He'll be the king of rome
