wise insistence

To lead they asked me to

Be our king they prayed

Lead us and bring us glory

Guide us in the wars to victory

Restore our nationhood and patriotism

With you our live will have a meaning

Rule over us said them all

Grudgingly I agreed

With no blueblood I was chosen

Alien from royalty but now made one

In me they saw a king

When in me all I could see was a serf

Born to serve and to be mastered over

Ordered to work is all I knew

Then I agreed

Purple became my apparel

With courage and grace I ruled

Then glory came

Victory in battle was I they said

Peace was within the frontiers

In me they made a king

Regal from thence became my posterity
