REBELLION LYRICS

1. Rest In Peace

Strong he was and great in fame
People came to hail his name
Once again they travel wide
To walk a last time by his side

Germania she still is free
She owes it to his victories
The Roman Varus he did beat
Germanicus he saw retreat

Gone he is gone
All that lives comes to end
So now just Rest in Peace
Gone he is gone
A poison you can't defend
So now just Rest in Peace
Rest in Peace

A people strong to rule their land
United under his own hand
But some are here who cry today
Bus lost belief along the way

Adgandaster the Chatti lord
He fed him poison 'cause he feared the sword
A deed by traitor done
Who lives on like a wayward son

Gone he is gone
All that lives comes to end
So now just Rest in Peace
Gone he is gone
A poison you can't defend
So now just Rest in Peace
Rest in Peace

[Solo]

Gone he is gone
All that lives comes to end
So now just Rest in Peace
Gone he is gone
A poison you can't defend
So now just Rest in Peace

Gone he is gone
All that lives comes to end
So now just Rest in Peace
Gone he is gone
A poison you can't defend
So now just Rest in Peace
Rest in Peace

2. Ala Germanica

The legions are marching
Pannonia burns
On the edge of the battle
We wait and I learn

The cruel art of warfare
To wait till it's right
To jump our horses
The battle to decide

500 Barbarians I rule

Ala Germanica
Into battle ride
For glory and for victory
Side by side
Ala Germanica
Arminius lead us on
Defeating Pannonia
In the name of Rome

ALA GERMANICA

The thick of the battle
Like the edge of a blade
Receive now my orders
I must no longer wait

We ride under screams
A maelstrom from hell
to kill where we hit
or to die where one fell

500 Barbarians I rule

Ala Germanica
Into battle ride
For glory and for victory
Side by side
Ala Germanica
Arminius lead us on
Defeating Pannonia
In the name of Rome

ALA GERMANICA

[Solo]

Ego Imperator Caesar Divi filius Augustus, te, Arminii, ductorem

equestrem transduco.

3. Prince Of The Cherusker

Oh come dear Arminius eat with us, recline
There is turmoil in your homeland and your troubles
I'll make mine
Segemir, your father, struggles for the upper hand
But Segestes, your uncle, also tries to win the land

Augustus I am
Ruler of the world
Imperator
Ruler of the world

Prince of the Cherusker, Hero of Pannonia
Raised in Rome your people you rule
Prince of the Cherusker of Germania Magna
With my help and under my smile you rule

Pannonia's decided just a year to final peace
So take your Ala home from the army you're released
Germania Magna win for Rome and I will aid
Roman peace to help a prosperous fate

Augustus I am

4. Dusk Awaiting Dawn

Like ghosts arising
From my childhood memory
I see the horned one
Initiation just for me

I see them dancing
Around a fire black and lean
Remember jumping
Over the fire to get clean

More and more I feel the memories rise

Like the dusk awaiting dawn
I have been too long
Serving foreign masters fighting faw away from home
Like the dusk awaiting dawn
I feel the urge so strong
To stroll and rest under the tall trees of my home

Tall and mighty
The Seeress stood in front of me
She shook in blind trance
And her wild herbs set me free

I saw the leader
Descending from Walhalla's gate
Leading his people
Into a prosperous fate

More and more I feel the memories rise

Like the dusk awaiting dawn
I have been too long
Serving foreign masters fighting faw away from home
Like the dusk awaiting dawn
I feel the urge so strong
To stroll and rest under the tall trees of my home

[Solo]

Like the dusk awaiting dawn
I have been too long
Serving foreign masters fighting faw away from home
Like the dusk awaiting dawn
I feel the urge so strong
To stroll and rest under the tall trees of my home

Like the dusk awaiting dawn
I have been too long
Serving foreign masters fighting faw away from home
Like the dusk awaiting dawn
I feel the urge so strong
To stroll and rest under the tall trees of my home

5. Breeding Hate

Roman Rules - Roman Lords
Roman taxes - Roman swords
Free Men - No more
Subdued - Roman Law

I see the cattle taken
With the winter at hand
Just to feed the soldiers
That rule the land
Forts standing strong
All the trees are gone
Heads bow to fate
And deep inside - I breed hate

Across Thenus up Lupia we rode
Full of joy to return home
I can't wait
Looking for a prosperous fate

I see warriors without pride
Women stealing out of sight
Blunt and rusty is the blade
Just numb eyes breeding hate
No more children on the street
Just a dog barks in retreat
I see not a prosperous fate
Just numb eyes breeding hate

Young men - Taken slaves
To serve - Roman grace
Women raped - As pleased
To serve - Soldier's need

I see Segestes smiling
As a friend of Rome
I see his riches growing
And his work well done
I am a Roman knight
Should be a friend of Rome
What I've seen of late
Deep inside - I breed hate

Across Thenus up Lupia we rode
Full of joy to return home
I can't wait
Looking for a prosperous fate

I see warriors without pride
Women stealing out of sight
Blunt and rusty is the blade
Just numb eyes breeding hate
No more children on the street
Just a dog barks in retreat
I see not a prosperous fate
Just numb eyes breeding hate

Breeding hate
Breeding hate
Breeding hate

[Solo]

I breed hate

I see warriors without pride
Women stealing out of sight
Blunt and rusty is the blade
Just numb eyes breeding hate
No more children on the street
Just a dog barks in retreat
I see not a prosperous fate
Just numb eyes breeding

I see warriors without pride
Women stealing out of sight
Blunt and rusty is the blade
Just numb eyes breeding hate
No more children on the street
Just a dog barks in retreat
I see not a prosperous fate
Just numb eyes breeding hate

6. The Seeress Tower

Now what I do find
Is not what I had in mind
A prosperous fate I don't see
And that is angering me

My people live like a slave
My father careful not brave
To Rome taxes we pay
Starve in the winter we may

Veleda once she said
Just otherwise I do remember I see
To her I'll ride to the Bructeri
And the Seeress shall answer me

Explain my fate to me

High above the Seeress tower
Floating on the wings of a dream
Take my hand oh Veleda hold me
Nothing is as it seemed

A prosperous fate means not Rome
There is a deed to be done
There is a battle of fight
A people left to unite

I must choose where I stand
To whom I lend my hand
It seems like treason to me
But we need to be free

Explain my fate for me

High above the Seeress tower
Floating on the wings of a dream
Take my hand oh Veleda hold me
Nothing is as it seemed

Freyr rules in ecstasy
My fate now I clearly see
At the Allthing Veleda speak for me
Give to my people the faith to be free

[Solo]

High above the Seeress tower
Floating on the wings of a dream
Take my hand oh Veleda hold me
Nothing is as it seemed

High above the Seeress tower
Floating on the wings of a dream
Take my hand oh Veleda hold me
Nothing is as it seemed

High above the Seeress tower

7. Varus

Like all the years before
Roman legions cross our land
Like all the years before
They feed their soldiers off our hand

Varus Varus
New governor of Germania
Sworn to force Roman law
Upon a people free so far

Oh Varus, a friend of mine you are
Oh Varus, but this has gone too far
I will not see my people live as slaves
I will not
Oh Varus, you don't know who we are

Not in all those years before
Was the rule enforced with an iron fist
Never in those years before
Were we tread upon until the ground we kissed

Varus Varus
Bitter enemies you've made of friends
Sworn to a full revenge
For humiliation suffered by your hand

Oh Varus, a friend of mine you are
Oh Varus, but this has gone too far
I will not see my people live as slaves
I will not
Oh Varus, you don't know who we are

[Solo]

Oh Varus, a friend of mine you are
Oh Varus, but this has gone too far
I will not see my people live as slaves
I will not
Oh Varus, you don't know who we are

Oh Varus, a friend of mine you are

Oh Varus, but this has gone too far

Varus Varus
(I will not see my people live as slaves)
Varus Vaurs
(Oh Varus, you don't know who we are)

8. The Tribes United

Chatti, Bructeri and Marsi have come
To meet secretly with Segimer's son
Cherusci, Angrivarii, German tribes to strong
To fight all united together as one

Brothers, raise your swords

The tribes all united
United as one
The force we could master
The deeds to be done
The tribes all united
United as one
With an iron fist and a sword in hand
To crush the power of Rome

Welcome Segestes, ally to Rome
I took your daughter for a wife so please feel at home
I dine with Varus, know what's on his mind
Germania as a province, oh you cannot be so blind

Segestes, raise your sword

The tribes all united
United as one
The force we could master
The deeds to be done
The tribes all united
United as one
With an iron fist and a sword in hand
To crush the power of Rome

The tribes all united as one
To crush the power of Rome
United as one

[Solo]

The tribes all united
United as one
The force we could master
The deeds to be done
The tribes all united
United as one
With an iron fist and a sword in hand

The tribes all united
United as one
The force we could master
The deeds to be done
The tribes all united
United as one
With an iron fist and a sword in hand

With an iron fist and a sword in hand
With an iron fist and a sword in hand
With an iron fist and a sword in hand
To crush the power of Rome

9. Ghost Of Freedom

Hear the sizzling from a serpent's tongue
They won't believe you so in vain you come
To warn the Romans of an ambush you must
Too blind they are me Arminius they trust

Segestes
Don't you know there's a deed to be done?
Fate is sealed, we will fight, not run

Let's speak through javelins, spathas, and shields
Wait in the brushwood never to yield
We are sworn to make it an end

Oh Segestes
Don't you know there's a deed to be done?
Fate is sealed, we will fight, not run

Don't you see the warning
Written on the walls
Released, the ghost of freedom
Let repression take its toll
A voice that stirs within us
Never to be choked again
The ghost of freedom

We raid their towers on our lands at night
Retrieve the powers back on our side
You say we are lost, but I say let them come

Don't you know there's a deed to be done?
Fate is sealed, we will fight, not run
Let them come

Don't you see the warning
Written on the walls
Released, the ghost of freedom
Let repression take its toll
A voice that stirs within us
Never to be choked again
The ghost

Don't you see the warning
Written on the walls
Released, the ghost of freedom
Let repression take its toll
A voice that stirs within us
Never to be choked again
The ghost of freedom

Welcome to our forest
Our holy groves
It's time to show true colors
Feel the oaks reach for your soul
The breath of our Gods on the wind
The holy earth beneath your feet
The ghost of freedom

It's time to let all hell break loose
Time to die
Time to die
It's time to die

Don't you see the warning
Written on the walls
Released, the ghost of freedom
Let repression take its toll
A voice that stirs within us
Never to be choked again
The ghost

Don't you see the warning
Written on the walls
Released, the ghost of freedom
Let repression take its toll
A voice that stirs within us
Never to be choked again
The ghost of freedom

10. Furor Teutonicus

Through mud and through rain our legions drag on
They fall on us like demons, they hit and they run
Attack out of darkness, spreading death and despair
They cut through our rows, an ambush beware

Varus - look what you've done
No way to turn back now
no chance to head on

Trapped - in swamp and in rain
Like phantoms they rise
Leaving corpses and pain

Oh Varus see your forces are bleeding
No escape from the Teutonic wrath
Oh Varus see your pride was misleading
In the storm and the everlasting rain

Teutonic wrath

Leave the civilians from our baggage to their fate
Get out of this trap before it's too late
There is nowhere to run, we just can't make a stand
Our legion is butchered as it gets out of hand

Varus - look what you've done
No way to turn back now
no chance to head on

Trapped - in swamp and in rain
Like phantoms they rise
Leaving corpses and pain

Oh Varus see your forces are bleeding
No escape from the Teutonic wrath
Oh Varus see your pride was misleading
In the storm and the everlasting rain

[Solo]

Oh Varus see your forces are bleeding
No escape from the Teutonic wrath
Oh Varus see your pride was misleading
In the storm and the everlasting rain

Oh Varus see your forces are bleeding
No escape from the Teutonic Wrath
Oh Varus see your pride was misleading
In the storm and the rain

Everlasting rain
No escape from
Teutonic wrath

11. Vae Victis

The time has come we will send
Your legions doomed to meet their end
There's no way out, nowhere to run
Our triumph blossoms in the sun
The ground turned red, by Roman blood
Your leaders died by their own sword
A warning for all time

Don't set your flag on our land, we'll never kneel
Defeated by barbarian tribes, how does it feel?
Your pried and joy lie shattered at our feet
At Teutoburg ground
Vae Victis
Where empires bleed

See me now, first of my tribe
As destiny is on my side
Fight for freedom, Cherusci rise
Gaze right into your enemies' eyes

We built a wall to hold them back
The Romans face our last attack
Here where it all shall end

Don't set your flag on our land, we'll never kneel
Defeated by barbarian tribes, how does it feel?
Your pried and joy lie shattered at our feet
At Teutoburg ground
Vae Victis
Where empires bleed

At Teutoburg grounds
Sacrificed in our holy groves
Our remains preserved in time

[Solo]

Don't set your flag on our land, we'll never kneel
Defeated by barbarian tribes, how does it feel?
Your pried and joy lie shattered at our feet
At Teutoburg ground
Vae Victis

Where your empire bleeds
At Teutoburg grounds
Augustus

Your pried and joy lie shattered at our feet
At Teutoburg ground
Vae Victis

VAE VICTIS

12. Requiem

As I sit here
I see thee as we were young
Like brothers, best friends
We'd see it through whatever come

Worn and tired I am
Feel the weight of all those years
The weight of years

Wish you could be with me now
Wish you could be with me now

But this is just a requiem
But this is just a requiem
But this is just a requiem
For the fallen
For the fallen
For the fallen
A requiem

[Solo]

Oh that battle
All the freedom, glory and gold
I never saw them
But you died young and I live old

Wouldn't you have liked to live
To see your children die in the wars to come
Would you not have liked to live
To see your sacrifice undone

But this is just a requiem
But this is just a requiem
But this is just a requiem
For the fallen
For the fallen
For the fallen

A requiem for the fallen
For the fallen
A requiem
For the fallen
