[Verse 1]
When the wind blows
Through the temple
That’s when I know
That my time has come
When the birds crow
Hear my signal
Now my story
Has begun

[Verse 2]
Up the high steps
To the palace
Where the kings rest
That's where I will go
In my new home
Covered in gold
I will rule all
From the throne

[Hook]
I built you up
I built you up
I made you everything you are
And now I’m done
And now I’m done
And now you’ll see me in the stars
You know it’s fated
So there ain’t no point in keeping me waiting
And now I’m done
And now I’m done
[Bridge]
I’m gonna be the emperor
I feel it in my bones
I’m gonna be the emperor
It’s written in the stones
I built you up
I built you up
I made you everything you are
So I'm gonna be the emperor
I feel it in my bones (Ahh)

[Verse 3]
Every change in
Every season
Brings a new beginning
To be told
See my face in
Every place when
Watching the new age unfold

[Verse 4]
To the high lands
Where the land ends
Spread my wings as far as they will go
In my new robe
Covered in gold
I will rule all from the throne
[Bridge]
I’m gonna be the emperor
I feel it in my bones
I’m gonna be the emperor
It’s written in the stones
I built you up
I built you up
I made you everything you are
So I'm gonna be the emperor
I feel it in my bones
So I'm gonna be the emperor (Ahh)

[Bridge]
I’m gonna be the emperor
I feel it in my bones
I’m gonna be the emperor
It’s written in the stones

[Hook]
In my new home
Covered in gold (4x)
I will rule all
From the throne

[Outro]
And now I’m done
And now I’m done
I'm gonna be the emperor
I'm gonna be the emperor
I built you up
I built you up
I made you everything you are
