Lyrics
Blow your trumpets, let the feast begin.
Blow your trumpets, signaling the commencement of the celebration.
Sing for us minstrels tonight.
Request for minstrels to sing, enhancing the festive atmosphere.
Let the coronation shimmer and shine
Expressing the grandeur and brilliance of the coronation ceremony.
In the golden sun so bright.
Describing the ceremony taking place in the radiant sunlight.
In a velvet mantle he takes the oath:
Depicting the newly crowned figure donning a symbolic velvet mantle.
I will protect and serve my homeland
Taking an oath to protect and serve the homeland in the lord's name.
In the name of our lord.
An affirmation of commitment and duty to the lord.
Stand by me and we will prevail.
Inviting others to stand together for collective success and triumph.
Hail!
A celebratory exclamation, possibly in response to the oath.
Remember the words of the old and wise
Encouraging remembrance of the wisdom shared by the old.
About what's wrong and what's right.
Focusing on distinguishing between right and wrong based on that wisdom.
Do you know greed's face, the tongue of the snake
Prompting awareness of greed's nature, likening it to a snake's tongue.
Or the shades of black and white?
Questioning the understanding of contrasts, possibly good and evil.
Receive the crown
Symbolizing the bestowal of the crown, a powerful and prestigious act.
And wear it with pride.
Encouraging the wearer to take pride in the responsibility the crown entails.
With it comes more than just the glory and gold.
Highlighting that along with glory and gold, the crown brings additional responsibilities.
Embrace the task
Urging the newly crowned to embrace the duty of standing by the people's side.
To stand by our side.
Encouraging the commitment to fight for freedom using the newly acquired powers.
Fight for our freedom with the powers you now hold.
Stressing the importance of defending freedom with the authority vested in the crown.
