[VERSE 1]
--Róçtok:
The first piece has fell into place,
Time for the second phase
Of my master plan: Ideas implanted
Soon I'll take over the lands
But secretly I'll instigate:
They already know my name
I'll twist their words like a parasite
Promising them paradise
[CHORUS]
--Chorus:
So hail he who set us free
Defender of the Glory
A shining light, a beacon of prosperity
It's all for one, and one for all
So onwards to victory
This road of gold is stretching to infinity
[BRIDGE 1]
We know the future's bright
When together we fight
[VERSE 2]
--Róçtok:
You think that I'm here to deceive?
Oh, don’t be so naïve
I'm on your side, no need to hide
You better put your faith in me
There is no room to second guess
Lest next is second best
So sing along, "we" wrote this song
You better stay in key
{CHORUS}
[BRIDGE 2]
But don’t say it's not real
Or too good to be true
They see and hear your every movement
Watching over you...
{CHORUS}
((So hail me, who set you free))
[CHORUS (variant)]
--Róçtok:
And now it's done, this battle's won
I'm free to write my story
I've made my claim, I gained my prize, against the odds
It's all for one, I've won it all
My future lies before me
I'm standing tall, to take my place among the Gods
[BRIDGE 3]
--Róçtok:
I know my future's bright
Now everything is mine!
