My Kingdom
Reign of Iron: Withered Veins' Epic Battle for Supremacy
Lyrics
On the hillside I stand alone
Standing alone on a hillside, suggesting isolation and perhaps a position of authority.
Below they gather to take my throne
Others gather below with the intention of challenging or taking control.
I stand tall, I cower to none
Asserting strength and fearlessness, refusing to be submissive to anyone.
And I don't stop until the war is won
Commitment to continue the fight until victory is achieved.
I rule the land with an iron fist
Ruling the land with a strong and unyielding leadership style.
My kingdom I defend
Defending the kingdom with determination and resolve.
I reign supreme, none greater than me
Claiming supremacy, considering oneself the greatest in power.
And your life I will end
Threatening to end the lives of those who oppose.
I draw my sword, ready to fight
Preparing for battle by drawing a sword.
When I roar it's fear at first sight
Instilling fear with a powerful roar at the start of a confrontation.
You are no challenge, your time is done
Dismissing the opponent as no challenge and declaring their time is over.
Take you alive the fun has just begun
Expressing the enjoyment of capturing the opponent alive.
I rule the land with an iron fist
Reiteration of ruling with an iron fist and defending the kingdom.
My kingdom I defend
Continuing the theme of defending the kingdom with determination.
I reign supreme, none greater than me
Emphasizing supremacy and unmatched greatness.
And your life I will end
Reiterating the threat to end the lives of opponents.
I will end
Repetition emphasizing the resolve to end lives.
You have been sentenced to hanging for your treason
Announcing a death sentence for treason, taking on the role of executioner.
I will be your executioner and my face will be the last thing you see
Describing the final moments before execution, with the singer as the last face seen.
Before your life fades into nothingness
Highlighting the impending nothingness after the execution.
