The Chosen Ones Lyrics
We are the chosen ones, we sacrifice our blood
We kill for honor
We are the holy ones, our armor's stained with blood
We killed the dragon
In glory we return, our destination's end
We slayed the dragon!
No more living in fear it's time to raise our king.
We made it happen we're the chosen ones!
We are the chosen ones, we sacrifice our blood
We kill for honor
We are the holy ones our armor's stained with blood
We killed the dragon, we're the chosen ones!
Riding through thunder, and lighting once again
We slayed the beast we brought an end
Now we have left the kingdom of the damned
Heroes of the day, legends forever!
We are the chosen ones, we sacrifice our blood
We kill for honor
We are the holy ones, our armor's stained with blood
We killed the dragon, we're the chosen ones!
It seems to me like a journey without end
So many years, too many battles
We've finally arrived, now we're standing at the gates
Heroes of the day, legends forever
In glory we return, our destinations end
We slayed the dragon
No more living in fear it's time to raise our king.
We made it happen, we're the chosen ones!
We are the chosen ones, we sacrifice our blood
We kill for honor
We are the holy ones, our armor's stained with blood
We killed the dragon
In glory we return, our destination's end
We slayed the dragon!
No more living in fear it's time to raise our king.
We made it happen we're the chosen ones!

We kill for honor
We are the holy ones, our armor's stained with blood
We killed the dragon
In glory we return, our destination's end
We slayed the dragon!
No more living in fear it's time to raise our king.
We made it happen we're the chosen ones!
We kill for honor
We are the holy ones our armor's stained with blood
We killed the dragon, we're the chosen ones!
We slayed the beast we brought an end
Now we have left the kingdom of the damned
Heroes of the day, legends forever!
We kill for honor
We are the holy ones, our armor's stained with blood
We killed the dragon, we're the chosen ones!
So many years, too many battles
We've finally arrived, now we're standing at the gates
Heroes of the day, legends forever
We slayed the dragon
No more living in fear it's time to raise our king.
We made it happen, we're the chosen ones!
We kill for honor
We are the holy ones, our armor's stained with blood
We killed the dragon
In glory we return, our destination's end
We slayed the dragon!
No more living in fear it's time to raise our king.
We made it happen we're the chosen ones!

I think it's about the Taiping Rebellion. The song is from the perspective of the Taipings, and the "dragon" refers to the Qing Empire, whose flag bore the image of a Chinese dragon with its face pointed toward the Sun. The heavy religious imagery of the song is due to the fact that Hong Xiuquan, the head of the rebellion, presented himself as the divine brother of Jesus Christ, and part of the Holy Trinity (replacing the Holy Spirit), as well as the "Heavenly King" of the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom". Therefore, the Hakka people of which Hong was a part, and which comprised the backbone of the rebellion, would have viewed themselves as the "chosen ones" by God. Also worth noting is that Hong believed the Manchus (the race that ruled the Qing dynasty) to be devils that he and the Taipings were destined to slay, hence the repeated imagery of bloodshed and righteous killing in the song.
