[VERSE 1]
--Róçtok:
Would you listen to them, and the songs that they all sing?
Oblivious to their own apathy
I was never a prince but I was destined to be King
To rule the lands and all that I can see
Centuries ago,
When all these lands could never get along
We never interfered
But we bowed our heads in tow
When those damned High Royals had came along;
The one true act of treason!
[CHORUS]
I will claim what’s mine by right
I will do my family proud
So won't you come join me at my side
And we will take the High Royals down!
[VERSE 2]
"And now I know what you’re thinking:
Me? A claim to the throne?
Let me give you the abridged verson
And the truth shall be known..."
Trace my family tree:
The blood of the Settlers flows deep in my veins
And I know of the stories:
A tribe of ancient men
And fewer generations to my name..
(A tale for another time) Is this my chance for glory?
{CHORUS}
[BRIDGE]
Once and for all! This is our call!
We will do this dance with destiny
And soon take down this tyranny
It’s time to pick a side!
So will you take my hand and join the fight?
To finally claim to "ours" by right?!
[VERSE 3]
Gather 'round my friends, for I have incredible news
A chance to take back everything we've earned
The High Royals up there, they don't see their impending doom
They can't predict the lessons they’ll soon learn
Now I've lit the fuse
All I can do now is watch the sparks fly
And I'm getting impatient;
Revolution's overdue,
And I know now this victory will be mine
I feel my heart is racing..
{CHORUS}
((It's time to claim what's mine by right))
