The Righteous Warrior

[Chorus]
He chose the harder path
Not the gold or the throne or the easy way
Guo Jing the righteous heart
Guo Jing the righteous heart
He stands for honor and he stays
A faithful soul who never strays

[Verse 1]
Blood brothers out on the plains
Tolui holds the promise made in the pouring rains
But a mother gave her life
To pull him from the grip of local strife
Choose your blood
Choose your land

[Pre-Chorus]
The dagger glows within his palm
The wind is rising but he is calm
I see the truth
I see the task
I see what heroes never ask

[Chorus]
He chose the harder path
Not the gold or the throne or the easy way
Guo Jing the righteous heart
Guo Jing the righteous heart
He stands for honor and he stays
A faithful soul who never strays

[Verse 2]
The Khan gave him a command
Go and claim the power in that distant land
He knelt beside a grave
Remembering the life his father gave
I am a Song man
I am for the people

[Pre-Chorus]
A golden gift becomes a weight
He walks away from an empire state
I hear the ghosts
I hear the song
I hear where I truly belong

[Chorus]
He chose the harder path
Not the gold or the throne or the easy way
Guo Jing the righteous heart
Guo Jing the righteous heart
He stands for honor and he stays
A faithful soul who never strays

[Bridge]
Great chivalry is not for the famous
Great chivalry is for the broken
Great chivalry is the word unspoken
Standing on the wall when the city starts to fall
Serving every soul
Giving up it all

[Chorus]
He chose the harder path
Not the gold or the throne or the easy way
Guo Jing the righteous heart
Guo Jing the righteous heart
He stands for honor and he stays
A faithful soul who never strays
Guo Jing
Guo Jing
The righteous heart
