lyrics

[VERSE 1]
-On the day of Alìyara’s coronation as the first High Royal of the Second Eastern Union-

--Alìyara:
The days have all been slipping by
They've slowly blurred into one
Róçtok's defeat feels like yesterday,
But where has all that time gone?
I know that we've been preoccupied
Rebuilding what we've reclaimed
But we will rise up out the ash;
A phoenix in the flames

[VERSE 2]
--Alìyara:
And now as I'm walking down this aisle
With millions of eyes on me
I feel the weight of them staring down
But deep inside, I must steel
For this is my moment to show them all
That I am the one to lead:
So long as the Kingdoms can play along
The Second Union will succeed

And as I see a bright future come into view..

[CHORUS 1]
--Alìyara:
I know you're looking down on me
The last of our blood
You've seen the challenges I’ve faced
And what I've overcome
I know that wherever you are
You're proud of what I've done
You said that one day I would fly;
Now, it's my turn to soar..

[VERSE 3]
--Duras’kò:
I know it seems hard and overwhelming
Leading our people may leave you helpless
So let me guide you, keep you from deceit
And by my command, history won’t repeat

Now I see a bright future come into view..

[CHORUS 2]
--Duras’kò:
I know they're looking down on you
The last of your blood
They've seen the challenges you've faced
And what we've overcome
I know that wherever they are
They're proud of what you've done
They said that one day you would fly;
Now, it's your turn to soar..

[BRIDGE]
--Parit''s spirit, looking down onto Alìyara:
Now my spirit is at peace
You've restored our dynasty
With a brand new harmony, fixing Róçtok's discord

As the future comes to be:
You've fulfilled your destiny

And like the Rings up in the sky
Our legacy will thrive
From today forevermore..

As I'm looking down:
My daughter wearing our crown
There's no other way to describe it,
I couldn't be more proud

Combining both ways,
You've learned from our mistakes:
As you agree to oversee,
But let the people have their say...
