Power incarnate,
King of your realm,
You rule unchallenged

It dances in your eyes,
In your crown,
In your soul

Fangs bared in a
Bloody salute,
To whom, I ask

To whom does
This king bow
His proud head

Who would dare
Contain such
Flowing grace,

Such untamed
Power, such
Dangerous anger

In a body earth-bound,
One named protector,
Chained by realm and rule?
