The lyrics are displayed below:
- A Breath of Frost
Icy winds sweep 'cross the land,
'tis Fair Iievius, for whom we proudly stand.
A breath of frost in ragged peaks,
A glimpse of sun in frozen clouds we seek.
A moutain high, a valley low,
This be the only land we know.
From every rocky shore to shore,
To the steppes of our homeland evermore.
Truth in your words and truth in your eyes,
We never allow the truth to be denied.
Onward, lift our banner high,
For the King-Emperor of our plains and skies.
A moutain high, a valley low,
This be the only land we know.
Fair Iievius etern'lly rooted down,
We work till the Empire gains renown.
The frost on the trees seems like tears,
Let the wind blow away your fears,
Iievius stands behind you, everyone you know,
We work as one, for our golden home.
A mountain high, a valley low,
This be the only land we know.
From the men to the boys, to the women and the girls,
The secrets of these six isles be yours to unfurl.
Icy winds sweep 'cross the land
'tis Fair Iievius, for whom we proudly stand.
A breath of frost in ragged peaks,
A glimpse of sun in frozen clouds we seek.
