Even if God Himself intervenes,
He will not spare you, yo yo yo!
I am going to take you down so simply,
With a solid plan, bro... bro!
The army commander here
Has stepped into the battleground.
Whoever stood against him,
He made them scream in fear.
The army commander here
Has stepped into the battleground.
Whoever stood against him,
He made them scream in fear.
He is the god of fierce giants,
He will destroy traitors from the roots.
He is a rogue elephant on a rampage,
Yet if you kneel before him, he will forgive.
He is the army commander, he is, he is,
He is the army commander!
Don't mess with him, he is very dangerous!
When trouble comes, the man is a soldier!
He works completely in silence;
When it comes to putting people in their place,
Lay a finger on him, and your chapter is closed.
He doesn't need heavy weapons,
A simple little tool is enough.
Freely with his hands,
He will finish off crowds of foes.
Even a hundred men together
Cannot touch his shadow.
He is the Don of all Dons,
Our Silver Jubilee Star!
The one who made Alexander scream in fear,
He belongs to that very breed!
No matter who comes from all eight directions,
He will smash them and sweep them away.
The one who made Alexander scream in fear,
He belongs to that very breed!
No matter who comes from all eight directions,
He will smash them and sweep them away.
A top-notch showdown,
He will deliver like a blessing!
He is the absolute king of mass appeal!
A top-notch showdown,
He will deliver like a blessing!
He is the absolute king of mass appeal!
He is the army commander, he is, he is,
He is the army commander!
