Marching through the sand and fire, Under banners stained with blood, From the Nile to ancient empires, We have drowned the earth in mud. Orders came from silent halls, Where the shadows wear a crown, Men are born and bred for war, Only death can bring them down! Steel and powder in the sky, Screams of fate that never die, We are pawns in someone’s game, Trading glory for a name! ⚔️ We ride — Sons of the Empire! Bound to the flame, forged in the fire! No gods, no kings, just the will to defy, We live and we march and we die! 🔥 Sons of the Empire! Ghosts of the pyre! History writes us in crimson and lies! We live and we march and we die! Echoes of forgotten nations, Whispers carved in desert stone, Every triumph hides damnation, Every hero dies alone. From the east the storms are turning, Cannons roar beneath the moon, But the wheel of fate keeps turning, And the end is always soon! Sands of time will drown us all, Pride precedes the final fall, Glory fades but truth remains, Buried deep beneath the chains! ⚔️ We ride — Sons of the Empire! Bound to the flame, forged in the fire! No gods, no kings, just the will to defy, We live and we march and we die! 🔥 Sons of the Empire! Ghosts of the pyre! History writes us in crimson and lies! We live and we march and we die! Now the flags are torn and tattered, Golden thrones reduced to rust, All that’s left are bones and ashes, Scattered in imperial dust. ⚔️ We ride — Sons of the Empire! Bound to the flame, forged in the fire! No gods, no kings, just the will to defy, We live and we march and we die! 🔥 Sons of the Empire! Ghosts of the pyre! History writes us in crimson and lies! We live and we march and we die!
