*** Third song by my dictator persona Magnus Magnanimous, a pompous and bombastic dictator. Magnus is used as a satire to mock the growing number of dictators in the world, as well as all wannabe dictators of the world. Stand up against these people - always. Even if it is just by making funny songs that mock their actual silliness. *** [Intro – Martial snare rolls, blaring brass, stadium stomp] [Trumpet fanfare] [Massive crowd chant:] (Me! Me! Me! Me!) [Magnus - booming:] “Citizens of Me… the hour has come!" "We march not for conquest…" "but for compassion!” [Choir swells] (Ooooooooh!) [Verse 1 – Drums pounding like boots] Our neighbours cry in silence, oppressed by cruel regimes, Their streets once shone with My banners, now stolen by fascist dreams. So I declare a special operation, to set their people free— Yes, for Them… for Them! But mainly... for Me. Hahah! [Chorus – Full glam stomp, brass and guitars in unison] March with Me! (Oooooooh!) For liberty! (Aaaaaaah!) Raise the flag of truth and light, that only shines through Me! March with Me! (Oooooooh!) For Them, you see— They’re one with Us, they’re one with Me, and I reclaim... their destiny! [Verse 2 – Brass fanfare, crowd chanting “Me! Me! Me!”] The Alliance of Not-Me surrounds them, feeds Them with foreign lies, They promise Them false freedom, while plotting Our demise. But fear not, O My people, I’ve seen their wicked game— For Them belongs to history, And history ¨ bears My name! [Chorus – Bigger, layered choirs] March with Me! (Oooooooh!) For liberty! (Aaaaaaah!) Raise the flag of truth and light, that only shines through Me! March with Me! (Oooooooh!) For Them, you see— They’re one with Us, they’re one with Me, and I reclaim... their destiny! [Bridge – Spoken, over dramatic key change and choir] “They call it invasion… but I call it salvation. They call it aggression… but I call it compassion. For what is war… but love, at gunpoint?” [Crowd explodes:] (Magnus! Magnus! Magnus!) [Final Chorus – Stadium erupting, fireworks in sound] March with Me! (Oooooooh!) For eternity! (Aaaaaaah!) Let the cannons sing the anthem, of the People’s Victory! March with Me! (Oooooooh!) All lands agree— Them shall rise, redeemed at last, United under Me! [Outro – Brass fanfare dissolves into mass chanting] [Crowd (chanting in rhythm):] (Me! Me! Me! Me!…) [Magnus (triumphant)] “…And thus, we fight… for peace!” [Massive crowd chant:] (Peace! Peace! Peace! Peace!) (Me! Me! Me! Me!) [Instrumental fade out]
