Hail To The King - Lyrics - Sabaton

A sabaton or solleret is part of a knight's armour that covers the foot. Fourteenth and fifteenth century sabatons typically end in a tapered point well past the actual toes of the wearer's foot, following fashionable shoe shapes of the fourteenth century. Sabatons of the first half of sixteenth century end at the tip of the toe and may be wider than the actual foot. They were the first piece of armour to be put on, and were made of riveted iron plates called lames.

Once we lived in harmony But it seems so distant now Even though it wasn't long ago We're all doomed to plague and death Working hard from dawn 'til dusk But that ain't enough for him Product of unholy love Untrue brother of a king Know that you'll fail Now hear us hail Your brother that you killed Hail to the king that brought peace to us all Rise from your grave, hear our call We'll not forget that you once saved our land Killed by your own brother's hand Pure evil and cruelty The true nature of your soul Mercy and responsibility Words that you can't understand Your quest for total control Will only end in your own fall We will fight for our freedom And our right to live Do it your way, soon you will pay Debts with your own blood Hail to the king that brought peace to us all Rise from your grave, hear our call We'll not forget that you once saved our land Killed by your own brother's hand Stars so bright (bright), dance in the night (in the night) Day come soon (soon), hide the moon Stars so bright (bright), dance in the night (in the night) Day come soon (soon), killing the moon Stars so bright (bright), dance in the night (in the night) Day come soon (soon), hide the moon Stars so bright (bright), dance in the night (in the night) Day come soon (soon), killing the moon Morning breaks, it's time to march To the castle of betrayal Bring your sword, wield your armour We won't take this anymore Kill the tyrant, he must die For his falseness and his crimes Strike him down and slay his guards And his ministers as well Done it your way, now you will pay Debts with your own blood Hail to the king that brought peace to us all Rise from your grave, hear our call We'll not forget that you once saved our land Killed by your own brother's hand Hail to the king
