“Waltz Of The Dead Kings” was originally released as Japan-only bonus track of the acclaimed Dragonknight 2025 debut album “Legions” – a millenium has passed, since the Kings were taken to their early grave. Yet, their call is time and time again echoed in taverns, guesthouses and regal chambers by minstrels and bards. This particular revision of the anthem to the Dead Kings has now found its way to the inns of the Old and New Continents after being sung for centuries by unbowing and fearless warriors hailing from the Land of a Thousand Suns Rising – so finish your hearty meal, grab your ale, wine or other more potent spirits, and join the bard as he recounts the tale of the Kings and partakes in their hallowed chant from beyond the veil!

Lyrics:
Fourteen hundred and twenty-two the world is very cruel
Evil slaughter everywhere trying to kill you
Down on the battlefield the cruellest of them all
The emperor spreads his wings proud and standing tall
Born from deep within the earth an evil yet unseen
A warrior with demon eyes, a killer born to win
And on the battlefield, he rides to win them all
The emperor with metal wings, you can hear him call:
Dead kings in the grave
So Glorious
Victorious
Dead kings in the grave
So Glorious
Can you hear my Battle cry
Dead kings in the grave
So Glorious
Victorious
Can you hear my cry beyond the veil of life
Feel the taste of metal
Cut you
Can you hear my cry beyond the veil of life
Feel the taste of metal
Cut you
And one night they killed the emperor by shooting through his heart
An arrow made of elven steel with poison from the dead kings hallowed grave
Dead kings in the grave
So Glorious
Victorious
Dead kings in the grave
So Glorious
Can you hear their Battle cry
Dead kings in the grave
So Glorious
Victorious
Can you hear their cry behind the veil of time
Feel the taste of metal
Cut you
Can you hear their cry behind the veil of time
Feel the taste of metal
Cut you
