The Chorus says:
"High and mighty alone we are kings
Whirlwinds of fire we ride
Providence brought us the crown and the ring
Covered with blood and our pride"
From this we can figure out that it's lonely at the top. He is the king and he fought hard to get there. I say it's fair to assume that since his crown and ring (for signing official decrees) are covered in blood (symbolic blood) he probably did some nefarious deeds in order to get to where he is.
Later it says
"Heroes await me
My enemies ride fast
Knowing not this ride's their last
Saddle my horse as I drink my last ale
Bow string and steel will prevail"
This is the last stand. Victory here is victory for his kingdom. Defeat here he looses at the best his throne and at worst his life and those of his best men.
