SABATON, die Erfolgsverwöhnten Epic Metaller veröffentlichen heute ihr neues Album “Legends“ , dessen Songs allesamt bereits online sind. Wie immer geht es bei SABATON um Kriege und Schlachten, nur, dass sich die Band dieses mal thematisch quer durch die Geschichte hangelt.
Zum Song, `I, Emperor`, der sich mit dem französischen selbsternannten Kaiser, Napoleon Bonaparte beschäftigt, erscheint heute um 17:00 CET auch das passende Musikvideo.
Frontmann Joakim Brodén schreibt dazu:
“Epic battles, bold moves and a rise from nothing to emperor. Napoleon is straight up legendary and his story is basically built for a SABATON song. Plus, this one was greatly – and I mean greatly – requested by fans. So here it is… you asked, we delivered!”

Lyrics:
I’ll take command, I’ll take the army
I’ll take the crown, my mandate to rule
I’ll take your land, your independence
And I will make it part of my realm
Know that I will enforce the code that bears my name
I will take what I deem is mine and claim the fame
I will assimilate your land, my command
So prepare, get your armies ready
I’ll be coming
I will conquer all, I will rule you
I’ll bring triumph or fall, I will defend you
I’ll make cannons roar, I’ll defeat you
I’ll win, the war, I will destroy you
I’ll be the fox, I’ll be the lion
I’ll do what it takes to sit on the throne
I play the game, where others will falter
Control the truth, the power to rule
While as I see my rise to rule as destiny
May it be that 5 million dead’s my legacy,
I will make nations bend and bow by my feet
So prepare, get your armies ready
I’ll be coming
Hear me now soldiers of my old guard, I have come to bid you all farewell
For twenty years you have joined me on the path to glory
Farewell my children, farewell!
While as I see my rise to rule as destiny
May it be that 5 million dead’s my legacy,
I will make nations bend and bow by my feet
So prepare, get your armies ready
I’ll be coming, I’m returning
