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