By this axe I rule
Savage of an ancient land
Slayer, king and wardog
Northman, barbarian
My sceptre drips with blood
My throne is built from bodies slain
My subjects fear my wrath
My enemies fear my blade
My throne, my destiny
I am king
Conqueror
Ruler of a cold empire
Born in chains, I was once a slave
Battle lust, sword thrust
I will send you to your grave
One last stand, killing hand
Who dies first, severed bone
Eyes ablaze, death snarl of hate
Dying wolf, vanquished foe
I am your king, try and take my crown
The price you'll pay
'Till death I'll cut you down
I grip my axe, men dying at my feet
Berserk, I laugh while your loved ones weep
Conqueror
Bred from nothing, kingdom I've gained
Engine of war, the world I reign
All bow before me, you shall obey
Usurper, I am the master of my domain
I am your lord, your sovereign
your ruler, your king all powerful
Conqueror
Many years I have been ruler
Many dared to take my crown
Those who tried, I hacked to pieces
Many more will, this I vow
Even though old age approaches
My kingdom sworn to defend
I will be the last one standing
Know that I will die dealing death
Conqueror
By this axe I rule the world
Usurper
Conqueror
