My Kingdom

The flag that I once planted as a king I abandoned

And now I reclaim this banner by God my sword and my name

In a truce sealed by blood within this metal skin and all that I own

Blood, bone, and courage in my veins and the heart that pumps it

Drink from the chalice and be reborn

And the land with me, it will change and transform

A fighting man sworn to the quest it is the doom of man that they forget

I have awoken the dragon and all around me the mist of his breath

Good and evil, there never is one without the other, his brother

Always there where I least expect it, it will burn me to cinders

The futures taken root in the present sun

Don't look into my heart, least of all your own

No man who is false can win in combat against the truth

When he lies he murders some part of the world, we must find what was lost

Hearth and home, wife and child were not for me, I was not yet done

I never knew how empty my soul was until it was refilled

Mad distemper strikes both beggars and Kings

The Necromancer's hard teachings of war and quest

I am given the right to bear arms and power to meet justice

I have lived through others for far too long,

And carried my guilt, my causes, my sins

I hope in the hereafter when I owe no more to the future

That I can be just a man
