Seal It, Trust in Truth

Verse 1

Anyone who won’t walk with us, turns away in heat

Sees nothing but shadow, sorrow shaped from my lineage

Anyone who listens, hears the wisdom I speak

No pain, no burden, no cold regret for those who keep faith

Called a council, gathered at the eighth seat

The young called up to the throne, in royal light

I spoke aloud to every chief and every city’s pride

Write this, pen it with your seal, make my justice clear

Chorus

Bahram sits crowned, in joy and favor, undiminished

Master of forgiveness, flawless truth, running from faults

With strength and stature, with mercy and law

Remembers only the creator of purity, praising the dawn

I take in those who heed my word, accept the loyal story

But who gives harm, who seeks ruin, takes blame alone

Post-Chorus

Seal it, seal it, letters going, hopes unfolding

Seal it, seal it, trust in truth

Verse 2

On this throne, inherited empire, father’s honored way

Tahmuras guided with upright hand, rule increased by justice

By laws of ancestors, my promise will stand

Lead you in belief, the path made plain

Nothing stands outside what’s right for all

Though some lose their bearing, wander in crooked tracks

Cherish the path, I never bend beneath doubt

Choose not to step from the line Zarathustra mapped

Chorus

Bahram sits crowned, in joy and favor, undiminished

Master of forgiveness, flawless truth, running from faults

With strength and stature, with mercy and law

Remembers only the creator of purity, praising the dawn

I take in those who heed my word, accept the loyal story

But who gives harm, who seeks ruin, takes blame alone

Post-Chorus

Seal it, seal it, let the riders bear the sign

Seal it, seal it, let faith shine

Bridge

Letters blessed and pressed with ring, messengers depart

Eyes bright and hearts keen, riding north and south

Every lord and noble, protector of border and belief

Faithful to family, to wife, to the wise

Exchange no gold for empty treasure, amass no wealth in shadow

For fortune favors those who live in light, not pain

Chorus

Bahram sits crowned, in joy and favor, undiminished

Master of forgiveness, flawless truth, running from faults

With strength and stature, with mercy and law

Remembers only the creator of purity, praising the dawn

I take in those who heed my word, accept the loyal story

But who gives harm, who seeks ruin, takes blame alone

Post-Chorus

Seal it, seal it, letters going, hopes unfolding

Seal it, seal it, trust in truth

Seal it, seal it, let the riders bear the sign

Seal it, seal it, let faith shine
