Across the ocean
A destiny in motion
The fighting is over
Just a past soldier
I’ve been waiting my whole life
To see what they have for me
Wizened in red robes
The men who are holy

I will be fair
I will be just
The empire has gone
In their rust
This is my time
This is my hour
You can’t stop me
Seizin’ my power
There I will be in all the stories
Turn the pages
Read my glorys
Soon I will arrive
Sailing true
I will take lead of this coup

I will do
What I should
I will be great
Let it be understood
I will have enemies
I will have friends
But only one group
Will be alive in the end
I will have lovers
I will have slaves
All the entire world will learn
To bow and worship my name
All will shout it
With joy and glee
I will take part
In a story called history

I will be fair
I will be just
The empire has gone
In their rust
This is my time
This is my hour
You can’t stop me
Seizin’ my power
There I will be in all the stories
Turn the pages
Read my glorys
Soon I will arrive
Sailing true
I will take lead of this coup

Climb to the temple
And I have arrived
It is said that you priests
Who are so old and wise
Can bestow me with power
So let’s start the ritual
I know I’m the one the rest are residual

Look Michael I know you’ve been living your whole life
Waiting for your fate to become your right
We don’t know what you’re sayin’ but it’s impolite
Maybe what you’re saying is that the empire lied
We’re all so sorry Michael, we’ve got nothing for you here
But you can stay all you’d like, let us be clear
Our prayers have told us nothing, nothing of you
But your life still has meaning if you just follow through

So if I just follow through?
I’m the chosen one, that’s enough out of you
For me to rule is my right
If you don’t agree, good night
You think you’re all mighty because you bow and pray
Staying in the temple all day, you’re turning all grey
You say it doesn’t exist but it’s my life
You’ll all learn the truth straight from the blade of my knife

I will never know
I will never see
Why I will be consumed in greed
Oh well
These are my minutes outside of hell

I am fair
I am just
the empire has left
The priests are rust
I am the one we need
in these strange times
