I will reign

Verse 1 — The Memory

I remember the banners the cheering the light

The king placed his hand on my shoulder that night

Your champion your savior your sword and your shield

I swore on my life I would never yield

The party beside me my brothers in war

We laughed around fires on a cold muddy floor

They called us immortal they called us divine

I believed every word and I thought you were mine

Pre-chorus

Gold on my armor white as the dawn

A hero worth praising before it all went wrong

Chorus

So let it burn every throne every crown

Let it burn watch it all come down

You made me the monster when you threw me away

So let it burn let it burn today

Verse 2 — The Betrayal

The demon fell bleeding I turned to my brothers

The smiles had gone cold they’d chosen another

The king raised his goblet but not for my name

The crowd that once loved me just looked away in shame

Rage Verse

You want mercy? I buried it with my name

You want forgiveness? I fed it to the flames

My armor still carries the wars that we fought

But the white has been burned the shine has been caught

By ash and by hatred the char and the black

I’m everything evil and I’m never going back

Bridge

I’m coming with banners of darkness and flame

The horde at my back knows my vengeance by name

Every demon I promised to keep from your walls

Is marching beside me straight into your halls

Not just the king not just the throne

Every single soul will answer for what they’ve done

Final Chorus

So let it burn every throne every crown

Let it burn watch it all come down

I was your salvation your sword and your shield

Now I’m your destruction and I’ll never yield

Let it burn let it burn let it burn

Outro

You discarded a hero you created a god

And gods don’t forgive they just finish the job

Even the innocent even the children who sang

Even the fields and the rivers

Let it all burn

— the slow ring of steel as the blade leaves the sheath —

…now kneel.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

No matter your borders no matter your walls

No matter your armies no matter your halls

Your homes will be cinders your cities will fall

Your castles will crumble your churches and all

No god will protect you no prayer will suffice

No offering given no worthy sacrifice

For I was the answer to every dark prayer

And now I’m the darkness that hangs in your air

We all fall before me the strong and the weak

The humble the prideful the bold and the meek

My hordes sweep through valleys like fire through grain

And nothing that stands will ever stand again

The people run screaming the children cry out

But joy fills my chest as I hear every shout

Their terror is music their panic my crown

I laugh as I watch every wall crumble down

My party once mighty now falls one by one

They crawl through the ashes and beg me to stop

The same hands that stabbed me now reach for my grace

I look in their eyes and I spit in their face

This charred blackened armor is my promise to all

To every kingdom to every proud hall

What comes next is destruction what comes next is flame

I made you a promise and I kept it the same

The horde stretches endless from valley to hill

Ten thousand eyes burning ten thousand to kill

I raised up my hand and they stopped at my word

The silence more frightening than anything heard

I walked through the ashes of the market we knew

Where merchants once praised me and children once grew

Now embers and nothing just rubble and bone

A fitting reflection of what I was shown

So sound your war horns and ready your gates

Sharpen your swords and prepare for your fates

For the hero you needed the champion you praised

Returns as your ending in darkness and haze

Call me Demon King call me Arkane

Your lives mean nothing you’re a stain

My hordes go hungry they want blood they want more

Onto the next country onto the next war

For this world is now mine every river and stone

Every crown I will shatter every throne I will own

Send word to your neighbors send word if you dare

Tell them the Demon King comes and the world should beware

HAHAHAHA let them pray let them kneel

This world belongs to me and destruction is real
