I hear the whisper in the palace walls Death has a

law and fear has a throne But I was not crowned

to disappear I was not dressed in gold to run

The door is shut The sentence is clear

No one walks in Unless he draws them near But silence

has a price And blood is on the line If I

was placed here Then this hour is mine I will risk

everything, I will not fear the king If I perish, I

perish, still I will enter in For such a time, for

such a time as this For such a time, I was

born for this Let every

courtier hold his breath Let every golden pillar shake I feel

the weight of a thousand lives And I will not look

away My hands are cold, my heart is flame I step

through fear and I speak his name If mercy waits

beyond the throne Then I will walk this road alone If

death is standing in the room Then death will see me

move I will risk everything I will not fear the king

If I perish, I perish Still I will enter in For

such a time For such a time as this For such

a time I was born for this

Hold out the gold, let heaven decide

I touch the scepter, I do not hide Hold out the

gold Let courage rise My people live

or I die

I

will risk everything I will not fear the

king If I perish, I perish Still I will enter it

For such a time For such a time as this For

such a time I was born for this I will not

bow to terror I will not turn and run The moment

found me waiting And now the hour has come For such

a time For such a time as this I was born

for this
