Fear me you lords and lady preachers
I descend upon your earth from the skies
I command your very souls you unbelievers
Bring before me what is mine
The seven seas of rhye

Can you hear me you peers and privvy counselors
I stand before you naked to the eyes
I will destroy any man who dares abuse my trust
I swear that you’ll be mine
The seven seas of rhye

Sister – i live and lie for you
Mister – do and I’ll die
You are mine i possess you
i belong to you forever

Storm the master-marathon I’ll fly through
By flash and thunder-fire I’ll survive
Then I’ll defy the laws of nature and come out alive
Then I’ll get you

Be gone with you – you shod and shady senators
Give out the good, leave out the bad evil cries
I challenge the mighty titan and his troubadours
And with a smile
I’ll take you to the seven seas of rhye
