Songs Lyrics

We came as guest and made them kings
We returned as guests and they made us kings
Against our will we were blessed with more
Disenheriting those who waged each war
Possesing that which we didn't want at first
We are - the reluctant conquerors.

Against our will we fight
Against our will we grow
Against our will we learn
Against our will we glow
Against our will we are born
Against our will we die
Against our will we are chosen to stand
Against each and every tide
Forced to be blessed or to be cursed
We are - the reluctant conquerors.

New guests arrive to cause them strife
They who could have been our second wife
New guests arrive to bring them down
And lead them against the one who had enlarged their crown

Against our will we stand alone
Winning more than we ever wanted to own
Disenheriting the whole world that comes to attack
This time we won't give it back

For it was your will to cause us pain
Your jealous rage became our gain
Against our will we are our fathers son
Against our will His will it will be done
Against our will He will make us King
He loves only us for we never wanted anything
This is the story of what's in store
And all will praise - the reluctant conqueror

Against our will we will be blessed
When all we wanted was to be guests
Our Father wants His kingdom to be restored
And we are - the reluctant conqueror

(Chorus)
