_ [G#] _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ [C#m] _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ [C#] _ _ [G#] _ I [C#m] must contain my anger or I won't control my power
But gods how long I've waited just to see this very hour
It's just as well I'm not the one who caused the storm of fire
Or I would turn [B] this battle plane [C#m] into your [G#] funeral pyre
_ [C#m] The priests all say I must not [G#] hate but I will not pretend
[C#m] I saw the wreck you made of her, my [B] herald and my [C#m] friend
The scars you left in flesh [F#m] and soul will [C#m] be so slow to fade
Oh would I add your coward heart beneath my naked blade
_ [G#] _
I must control my rage or lose her ability to plan
I must direct the fight from [F#m] here not charging [B] in the van
[C#m] As you will likewise do no doubt for all that you are cruel
And rubble in shame, blood and pain I think you are no fool
[G#] _ _ [C#m] But in the name of all the gods you're all that I despise
Who plan to take my treachery, my kingdom [C#] as your prize
[C#m] My throne, my child, my people all you plotted to despoil
By tricks that only miracles enabled us to foil
[G#] _ [C#m] I must control my fury all and strip all that I've sought
But vengeance would not be enough [B] for all the grief you've wrought
[C#m] Gods grant this day you fall beneath the steel of me and mine
And drink fully of [C#] defeat that cold [C#m] and bitter wine _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [C#] _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ My crown is on my brow, my naked blade within my hand
My army like an eager hound lies [C#] waiting my [C#m] command
With how you tortured, killed and lied revealed to them [G#] this day
_ _ [C#m] By all the stars that ever shone, by all the gods known and [F#m] unknown
For Elchris and my [G#] queens all _ I swear [C#m] that you will pay _ _ _ _
