Imperial Seal Songtext
von Tidestone

The smell of death
Lingers heavy in the air
As they tread amongst
Ashes of countless dead
Was it a sign, then
Sent down from up high?
What cast the reflection from the sun?
What caught their eye?

In a well they found it

For centuries
A symbol of immortality
And the beauty within
The soul of every man
Mandate of Heaven
Long life and prosperity
For the rightful heirs
Of this divine piece


(Woah)
Behold the Imperial Seal
(Woah)
Borne by true Heaven′s sons
(Woah)
Beware the Imperial Seal
(Woah)
Curse on the unworthy

False defenders

Desperate times
Call for desperate measures
Seal in hand
Declared himself emperor
"I'm of nobility
This is my destiny"
Would he now bask in eternal fame
Or pay the price?

(Woah)
Behold the Imperial Seal
(Woah)
Borne by true Heaven′s sons
(Woah)
Beware the Imperial Seal
(Woah)
Curse on the unworthy


For centuries
A symbol of immortality
And the beauty within
The soul of every man
Mandate of Heaven
Long life and prosperity
For the rightful heirs
Of this divine piece

"Superstition" the grounds for his claim
The seal meant nothing, and so there he lay

Destined to fade away
