Watch the flower bloom
The one that grows out of my hand
You can't cut this way
Swords can't cut what
God creates
Kiss my hand, kiss my feet
Kiss my boots on your knees
My force blooms for ever

L'état c'est moi
Der Staat Bin Ich
I am the king
Shah-en-Shah-e-tun hast-am

Have a look at my crown
It shimmers as bright as the personal light
Of heaven and angels
I'm God's hand, I'm God's eyes
I'm the hero sent to fight
Against those religions some folks call freedom
Kiss my hand, kiss my feet
Kiss my boots on your knees

L'état c'est moi
Der Staat Bin Ich
I am the king
Shah-en-Shah-e-tun hast-am

Listen, poor pagan
I'm the power, I'm the state
Listen, poor people
I'm the law
I am the king
In the king you must trust
