1, 2, 3....

Bring forth
The crown
The royal is in town
All rise,
Here ye!
This is the first decree:

New era!
The new reign
Blue blood is in my veins
Hear ye!
Let it be known-
We came to claim the throne

We are the royal
We are the royal
We are the royal
We are the royal

Our scheme
So grand;
We come to make a stand
No gold
No rings
We are the brand new kings

New era!
The new reign
Blue blood is in my veins
Hear ye!
Let it be known-
We came to claim the throne

We are the royal
We are the royal

We are the royal
We are the royal

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "The Royal" by Royal Republic are about a group of people who are determined to claim the throne and start a new era. The first verse commands the audience to bring forward the crown, as "the royal" has arrived. The singer announces that they have come to claim the throne, and this is the first decree. In the chorus, the band proudly proclaims "We are the royal" in repetition.

The second verse implies that the band does not have wealth or material possessions, but their grand scheme is enough to make them kings. They are symbolically the new era, with blue blood in their veins, and they come to make a stand. The chorus repeats, emphasizing that they are ready to claim the throne and start fresh.

This track is a bold and confident declaration that the band is taking over and will rule over the rest. The lyrics are simple, but they do convey the message strongly. The song implies that to be successful, there needs to be a certain level of entitlement, dominance, and confidence. The use of the royal theme is symbolic, and the repetition of "We are the royal" is a powerful statement.
