Blow your trumpets, let the feast begin
Sing for us minstrels tonight
Let the coronation shimmer and shine
In golden sun so brightIn the velvet mantle he takes the oath
I will protect and serve my homeland
In the name of our Lord
Stand by me and we will prevail, hailRemember the words of the old and wise
About what's wrong and what's right
Do you know greed's face, the tongue of the snake
Or the shades of black and white?In the velvet mantle he takes the oath
I will protect and serve my homeland
In the name of our Lord
Stand by me and we will prevail, hailIn the velvet mantle he takes the oath
I will protect and serve my homeland
In the name of our Lord
Stand by me and we will prevail, hailReceive the crown and wear it with pride
With it comes more than just the glory and gold
Embrace the task, to stand by our side
Fight for our freedom with the powers you now holdIn the velvet mantle he takes the oath
I will protect and serve my homeland
In the name of our Lord
Stand by me and we will prevail, hailIn the velvet mantle he takes the oath
I will protect and serve my homeland
In the name of our Lord
Stand by me and we will prevail, hail
