Lyrics by Tiana i Zaydan i Riqueza

The Empire is in danger The horn has called our spirits forth We rise to meet their challenge Into battle we will ride Our enemies grow stranger No fear of loss, titanic force Or wickedness of venom can Put out the light inside

[Chorus] We are Summer's children And we will not go quietly We're heroes called from history And we will not come alone We are summer's children Our steps will not fall silently We'll march with pride and passion And we'll make the world our own

We are the Empire's children With magic in our blood to wield For those who stand against us They will fear our battle cries We are the Empire's future Our courage is our sword and shield Our enemies shall tremble They will fall as we will rise

[Repeat chorus] Empire's children Stay with me, just take my hand Empire's heroes Will you rise, will you stand?
