Shattered Glass

There is blood on the crown
and blood on the throne.
Gold chimes in sacks
and banners are torn.

Surrendered our lord
in the name of what?
Surrendered our land
on whose behalf?

    I challenge the king
    and his corruption.
    I challenge the rule
    of man over god.
    I challenge the skies
    to name the truth.
    I challenge the world,
    hear me shout!

Above us storms now rage
and lightning strikes.
Clouds cloak the skies
and heed my battle cry.

There will be tears and death,
there will be pain.
But we stand true to our faith,
to our hearts.

A man became god,
now man defies god.

    I challenge the king
    and his corruption.
    I challenge the rule
    of man over god.
    I challenge the skies
    to name the truth.
    I challenge the world,
    hear me shout!

The hall of heroes welcomes
those with valor and faith.
Banish him from my life,
and yet I will meet him there.

The hall of heroes beckons,
for I fought with valor.
If my time now comes,
I go with my head held high.

To drink with the heroes of days long gone,
to hunt, to fight under the iridescent skies.
No dragons, no demon can stop me now,
for be it in glory or curse or a song,
the world remembers my name.

    I challenge the king
    and his corruption.
    I challenge the rule
    of man over god.
    I challenge the skies
    to name the truth.
    I challenge the world,
    hear me shout!

    I challenge the king
    and his corruption.
    I challenge the rule
    of man over god.
    I challenge the skies
    to name the truth.
    I challenge the world,
    hear me shout!
