King of Rome

On the field I can see him riding inspired All those legends that we have heard in our youth Now it's time to stand, measure ourselves against him Back to the French lines, "Vive l'Empereur!" It's my desire to defend the name Back to the fire, "Vive l'Empereur!" What I require was refused again But as my thoughts return to home and what's ahead I was a slave to what my family forged Thoughts of my son, I will not fail him now I'll pass the light, give him all the might He'll be the, the King of Rome I'll pass the light safely through the night He'll be the, the King of Rome From the battlefield, I ride to my place of command There at the hilltop (thinking of your son) The heir-apparent, your time will come There in my shadows (no hope you can see) I'll fight despite them, too much is at stake But as my thoughts return to home and what's ahead I was a slave to what my family forged Thoughts of my son, I will not fail him now I'll pass the light, give him all the might He'll be the, the King of Rome I'll pass the light safely through the night He'll be the, the King of Rome But as my thoughts return to home and what's ahead I was a slave to what my family forged Thoughts of my son, I will not fail him now I'll pass the light, give him all the might He'll be the, the King of Rome I'll pass the light safely through the night He'll be the, the King of Rome
