1.	Born to Rule 03:19	lyrics	buy track
Born to rule Bred for kingship The weight of two crowns upon one head Burden Of reputation A father that you've never met A war That you never asked for A war that's been raging for far too long As king You must bring home victory To lose one crown will cost you both Hold your head up high To the sky Show them all that royal power won't be defied Sword and scepter by your side By your side Show them all that you won't cower, won't be defied Born to rule Born into conflict The cost of two crowns inherited Fantastic Expectations The ghost of your father looms overhead This war That you never asked for Cannot be forsaken It must be won As king You must bring home victory To lose one crown will cost you both Hold your head up high To the sky Show them all that royal power won't be defied Sword and scepter by your side By your side Show them all that you won't cower, won't be defied Hold your head up high To the sky Show them all that royal power won't be defied Sword and scepter by your side By your side Show them all that you won't cower, won't be defied

Guns of Castillon Wall of death Guns of Castillon Wall of Hell Death tears Through the summer air We were unprepared For a fight unfair Royal grand dreams End with broken screams We were unprepared For a nightmare For the Guns of Castillon Wall of death Guns of Castillon Wall of Hell Cannons roar and smoke fills the sky Stones unleashed upon our front line Armored bodies smashed and broken Left to die out in the open Waves of men sent to the slaughter Sent to die for noble honor Battle turned into disaster Hopes are dashed and scattered by the Guns of Castillon Wall of death Guns of Castillon Wall of Hell Death tears Through the summer air We were unprepared For a fight unfair Royal grand dreams End with broken screams We were unprepared For a nightmare For the Guns of Castillon Wall of death Guns of Castillon Wall of Hell
3.	Prosperity Through Victory 03:15	lyrics	buy track
Failure after failure The king has lost his mind The crown sits on an empty head Pirates rule the seas and Frenchmen raid on English shores This kingdom needs a ruler's touch I will tame the waters you have filled with waves I will douse the fires you've allowed to rage You've led us to the brink of ruin But I will guide this kingdom to Prosperity Through victory Military power will win the people's love I'll show them that I can keep them safe The Crown may have the power but I have got the cash And coin can buy a lot these days I will tame the waters you have filled with waves I will douse the fires you've allowed to rage You've led us to the brink of ruin But I will guide this kingdom to Prosperity Through victory I will tame the waters you have filled with waves I will douse the fires you've allowed to rage You've led us to the brink of ruin But I will guide this kingdom to Prosperity Through victory
4.	The Queen 03:46	lyrics	buy track
This Is War I will not back down I wield the power of the Crown Pretender My time is now I am Queen And I'll put your rebellion down Destroy you Lie And conspire Steal what's mine And ignite the fire of a fool's rebellion Try As you might To deny You can't cover up The stench of treason I will not back down I wield the power of the Crown Pretender My time is now I am Queen And I'll put your rebellion down Destroy you Usurper Betrayer Pretender I won't rest until I see your head removed From your shoulders Manipulator It's over Here at Wakefield you'll face a traitor's death I will not back down I wield the power of the Crown Pretender My time is now I am Queen And I'll put your rebellion down Destroy you

Holy day Frigid day Thousands wait For the rage of battle Wind and snow And biting cold air Haunt the soldiers As they pray Cold winds blow across the snow Through the fields where soldiers moan Carried on by howling winds Arrows mingle with the snowflakes Left to fight until the end Soldiers paint the snow with crimson blood Leave the rivers running red Countless lives are lost forever Holy day Long day Muscles ache As the battle drags on Wind and snow And biting cold air Plague the soldiers As they fight Cold winds blow across the snow Through the fields where soldiers moan Carried on by howling winds Arrows mingle with the snowflakes Left to fight until the end Soldiers paint the snow with crimson blood Leave the rivers running red Countless lives are lost forever Bloody day Painful day Thousands lay On a broken landscape Wind and snow And biting cold air Plague the soldiers As they fight to stay alive Bloody day Deadly day Thousands pay For a crown To change hands Wind and snow And biting cold air Taunt the soldiers As they die Cold winds blow across the snow Through the fields where soldiers moan Carried on by howling winds Arrows mingle with the snowflakes Left to fight until the end Soldiers paint the snow with crimson blood Leave the rivers running red Countless lives are lost forevermore
6.	Seize the Day 03:01	lyrics	buy track
Watch The rise of your new king The sun in splendor Kneel Receive his royal mercy Or flee Run To the north but it won't save you The Scots are not on your side A royal army gathers Surrender or die By the grace of God And victorious arms We have marched through Hell and seized the day Now a new day dawns And a new fight comes We will march through Hell and seize the day Seize the day Seize the day Hide In your castles but they won't save you I'll knock them out one by one Forsake your old allegiance Or die Fight It will cost you all your heads This battle will be your last The old king will not save you My kingdom comes By the grace of God And victorious arms We have marched through Hell and seized the day Now a new day dawns And a new fight comes We will march through Hell and seize the day By the grace of God And victorious arms We have marched through Hell and seized the day Now a new day dawns And a new fight comes We will march through Hell and seize the day

We're the ones who make your fortress strong The shield behind which you can hide from danger We're the ones who fight your wars abroad Kings may come and go But soldiers' work will last forever Soldiers of the Calais pale Army of the sword and sail Soldiers, mercenaries, pirates Keepers of the English sea Fight your wars and turn a profit Loyal service for a fee We're the weapon of the English Crown The sword with which you can defeat your rivals Pay our wages, we won't let you down Kings may come and go But soldiers' work will last forevermore Soldiers of the Calais pale Army of the sword and sail Soldiers, mercenaries, pirates Keepers of the English sea Fight your wars and turn a profit Loyal service for a fee
8.	Kingmaker 03:20	lyrics	buy track
Kings Wonderful tools When they follow the rules And now we know that this one needs to be replaced Hearts and minds can be swayed And large armies raised And now the time has come to Rise Kingmaker Choose your king Earn favor Rise Kingmaker Turn the tide Turn traitor Kings They forget their place And they make mistakes Let all that power soak into their childish heads Lead their kingdoms to death And forget all their friends The ones who made them king Rise Kingmaker Choose your king Earn favor Rise Kingmaker Turn the tide Turn traitor
9.	Fight in the Fog 03:50	lyrics	buy track
Guns sound through the night Firing blind Foes are closing in For the fight Early morning mist Veils our eyes Ghastly shapes appear Battle lines War approaches Through the dark Stones and arrows Find their mark Fight Fight in the fog Fight though you can't tell Your friends from your foes Fight Fight in the fog Fight though you can't tell Your friends from your foes Battle lines obscured Flank takes flank Blind confusion strikes Chaos reigns Cries of fear ring out From all sides Soldiers break and run Their demise Death approaches On their heels Countless cut down As they flee Fight Fight in the fog Fight though you can't tell Your friends from your foes Fight Fight in the fog Fight though you can't tell Your friends from your foes Treachery Treachery Misunderstanding Fatal mistake Fight Fight in the fog Fight though you can't tell Your friends from your foes Fight Fight in the fog Fight though you can't tell Your friends from your foes

Crossed the sea Returned from exile Crushed the traitor Reclaimed What's Mine Now the final foe is coming One more Fight One more time We will ride out One More Fight One last time One last battle One more Fallen queen Commands an army Soldiers march To their demise Their legs are weary Their backs against the wall They have nowhere left to run End their line With one more fight One last time One more fight One more Fight One more time We will ride out One More Fight One last time One last battle One more Fight One more time We will ride out One More Fight One last time One last battle One more
