Empress of Fire, What season may come
We fight for the day, Youll restore our heart and bring us to glory

Ecliped in the eye of the Empire of we Orlesians.

The lyrics of Raney Shockne's "Empress of Fire" speak about the Orlesian Empire, which is a fictional land in the video game series "Dragon Age." In this song, the people evoke the "Empress of Fire," who is the ruler of the kingdom. Her reign is during the time of the lion, an animal that symbolizes strength and power. However, the empire is in turmoil, and the people call upon their empress to restore order and bring back their glory.
The song seems to suggest that the people of Orlesian view their empress as a sort of savior figure, one who can lead them out of their struggles and into prosperity. The lyrics contain religious imagery, such as "light up our hearts with blood so bold," which could suggest that the empress is viewed in a divine light. The phrase "We are forever in your graces" further solidifies this idea of the empress being a powerful and revered figure in the kingdom.
