Crown of Iron

There was a time when by the axe we ruled

And Aquilonia was at our feet

We were men before we were kings

That never knew the word defeat

Crown of iron

Crown of iron

There is a time the burden drags ever on

Adders conspire betrayal schemes

A toast with wine to all the battles fought

Let others dream imperial dreams

Crown of iron

Crown of iron

Now we look back with sadness in our eyes

Adventure and lust are memories past

Glory days are over, honour is what we've kept

Thus to die free at last

There comes a time of great weariness

And the throne room becomes a cage

Upon our brows the crowns cease to sparkle

We're fat, bald and bent with age

(Repeat chorus)
