[Verse 1]
I’ll take command, I’ll take the army
I’ll take the crown, my mandate to rule
I’ll take your land, your independence
And I will make it a part of my realm

[Pre-Chorus]
Now that I will enforce the code that bears my name
I will take what I deem mine and claim the fame
I will assimilate your land, my command
So prepare, get your army ready
I’ll be coming
[Chorus]
I will conquer all
I will rule you
I’ll bring triumph or fall
I will defend you
I’ll make cannons roar
I’ll defeat you
I’ll win the war
I will destroy you

[Verse 2]
I’ll be the fox, I’ll be the lion
I’ll do what it takes to sit on the throne
I play the game, where others will falter
Control the truth, the power to rule

[Pre-Chorus]
While as I see my rise to rule as destiny
May it be that 5 million’s dead is my legacy
I will make nations bend and bow by my feet
So prepare, get your armies ready
I’ll be coming

[Chorus]

I will conquer all
I will rule you
I’ll bring triumph or fall
I will defend you
I’ll make cannons roar
I’ll defeat you
I’ll win the war
I will destroy you

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Hear me now soldiers of my old guard, I have come to bid you all farewell
For twenty years you have joined me on the road to glory
Farewell my children, farewell!

[Pre-Chorus]
While as I see my rise to rule as destiny
May it be that 5 million’s dead is my legacy
I will make nations bend and bow by my feet
So prepare, get your armies ready
I’ll be coming, I’m returning

[Chorus] x2
I will conquer all
I will rule you
I’ll bring triumph or fall
I will defend you
I’ll make cannons roar
I’ll defeat you
I’ll win the war
I will destroy you
