Eluveitie - The Essence Of Ashes lyrics

rate me

And it came to pass in those leaden days<br />

That a plain, poor man got sick of his yoke of condemned soil<br />

And a foreign empires hungry purse<br />

Time to replace the pitchfork with the sword<br />

And sound the anthem of sheer rebellion<br />

<br />

Enough! <br />

Once too often! <br />

Enough is enough! <br />

<br />

We strive not for war<br />

We just crave to have our home<br />

We just seek to have our rights<br />

That our fathers used to have<br />

<br />

But we tasted the grime and blood<br />

We tasted the essence of ashes<br />

<br />

A glowing spark<br />

Rising up from blazing flames<br />

To lead the forlorn and the wroth<br />

The epitome of hope and freedom<br />

A daring venture<br />

A frenetic attempt<br />

When Amandus was slain<br />

The Bagundae still sang
