SALAMANDRA LYRICS

1. Up For The Past And Future

Let's hope for the good and no trouble
When all just seems fair
Think of the long gone days
When history was made out of

Wish for tomorrow
That's filled with love and lived in freedom
Let there be no fear,no sorrow
When there was no hope for a future

This wish still remained
To fight the evil reign
From ruling freemen's land

Men in arms
Rose up against the bad
History's been made

Out of wars

2. Forefathers Realm

History books tell us little of the times
When the nation dukeless held the country's reign
At the very twilight of tenth century
Moravians remained free

[BRIDGE:]
They were my forefathers
Those courageous men
They were my forefathers
Praise those guardians, our pride

History books tell us where the empire was
When the first duke came and united the lands
In some eighty years the situation's changed
Country's crumbled without head

[BRIDGE]

[REFRAIN:]
Great empire, Moravian realm
That was our country's dawn
Great empire, Moravian realm
Our country's dawn

[SOLO]

[BRIDGE]

[REFRAIN:]
Great empire, Moravian realm...
...Glorious roots

[REFRAIN:]
Great empire, Moravian realm...
...Glorious roots

Thirteen years passed
Since last duke died
Since we lost
Our lord
Thirteen years passed
Years drenched in blood
Our country's dawn

[REFRAIN:]
Great empire, Moravian realm...
...Glorious roots

3. Never Give Up

Don't you give up your fight
We shan't obey dead-end fate
Days have darkened and soured
When search for shelter's been vain

[BRIDGE:]
We aren't tired enough
To dig up our graves
Where has my duke gone
Where are his kin now
We aren't tired enough
To lay in our graves
Where has my duke gone
Where are his kin now

[REFRAIN:]
Battle is on, our aim is clear
We shall walk out as free
Battle is on, our aim is set
Or else we won't come back

There's no time to comply
Accept the foreigners' law
Brave men've governed this land
Since very earliest days

[BRIDGE]

[REFRAIN]

We shan't comply with rule
Of foreigners' reign
Brave men have been our dukes
Battle is on, battle is on
Till we win

We shan't give up our fight
We don't take this fate
Don't care for cold and dark
Battle is on, battle is on
Till we win

We shan't comply with rule
Of foreigners' reign
Brave men have been our dukes
Battle is on, battle is on
Till we win

[BRIDGE]

[REFRAIN]

We'll never give up fight
Don't take this fate
Never mind cold and dark
Battle is on

We'll never give up fight
Don't take this fate
Never mind cold and dark
Battle is on

4. The Blackest Wings

Land's fallen a sleep
Dust, ash and smoke
Fill night with evil
You can't see the force
Feeding on cruel night
And on lives of the brave

She's certainly come
Spreading her wings
Searching the country
With her blackened eyes
She's looking for each flash
Of a mind weak or tired

[BRIDGE:]
Feel Morana
Spread her wings over the country
Spreading her great dark wings

[REFRAIN:]
She'll turn her head
Look in your eyes
She'll search your soul, your soul
What could she find
Inside your mind
Is there a hope, oh hope?

She's certainly come...

[BRIDGE]

[SOLO]

[REFRAIN]

[REFRAIN]

What will you tell her
If ever asked
Proud Moravian
How did you help your country?

5. Everlasting Fame

Wake! As tomorrow
Is not gonna wait
Our darkened and mournful tomorrow
Is going to take

Our homes and land down the stream
The endlessly flowing stream of time
Time that's killed
And ruined many mighty realms before

Let's hold the future
Firm in our hands
Our unique and only one future
There's no other chance

Our homes and land need each hand
Every hand clenches axe or sword
Every hand
That may be able to take control

[BRIDGE:]
No one shall suppress our land
Nobody dictates our lives

[REFRAIN:]
Freemen's realm shan't obey
Moravian country shan't die
No one shall suppress our land
Nobody dictates our lives
Freemen's realm shan't obey
Moravian country shan't die
See our fame reach the sky
Moravian country shan't die

Tomorrow is not gonna wait
Dark and mournful is sky
We shall thrust
Swords at fiends' hearts
Freemen's realm'll never obey

[SOLO]

[REFRAIN]

...See our fame reach the sky
Moravian country shan't die

6. Unchained Land

Down from the mountains high
Past hills and meadows
That's where hawks fly up in the sky
Downstream the rivers wide
Past ponds and branches
That's where the country draws
The life sap from its roots

Follow the streams that run
Past towns and castles
Growing stronger, deep and wide
Trace ruins of mighty realm
Seek for its remnants
Whose greatest share is there
Living in your heart

[REFRAIN 3x:]
Come, see Great history lays open
Come, see Our roots are here
Come, hear All country tells the story
Come, hear Glorious realm

7. Hero

No more
Talk of decay
I've heard
Your mournful prayer
If the nation rose
Got rid off the weak
We might conquer back
What was our realm

[BRIDGE:]
Where's your faith gone
Where is the will
Face the future
Without fear

No more
Grieving for the dead
Search for
Leader's in vain
No one ever has
Saved a nation's peace
One hero won't make
Enemies flee

[BRIDGE]

[REFRAIN:]
Let our anger grow
Make it shatter the walls
That divide our dream
From the world that's real
One hero won't bring
Back the pride and glory
Let's unite, fight back
For the realms
We had

[SOLO]

No more talk of decay...

[BRIDGE]

[REFRAIN]

[SOLO]

[REFRAIN 2x]

8. Calm Down The Fury

Please dress the altar
And carefully say
Each of the prayers
That may bring us hope
Force in the young man
Caught in last raid
And chant all the prayers
That may bring us hope

[BRIDGE:]
To calm the furies down
This man is doomed to die
To bring our empire back
We shall make this sacrifice

[REFRAIN:]
The priest is raising hand
To stab the chest and then
Take out his beating heart
And life
To calm the furies down
This man is doomed to die
We'll win our freedom back in war
Win back in war

Dress many more altars
And carefully say
Each of the prayers
That strengthen our hope
Force in the young men
Caught in the raids
And chant all the prayers
That feed up our hope

[BRIDGE]

[REFRAIN]

9. Brave Mens Chant

Can you see the people
Growing angry
As they feel their freedom's getting lost
There's no one
To protect them
From the danger
That's awaiting in the west

[BRIDGE:]
When our settlements are helpless
When the neighbours backed away
Then we have to stick together
Clench the knife and battle axe

I can't see our brothers
In the east who
Have been occupied by Hungarians
Watch out for new kingdom
In the west who's
Trying to seize all our land

[BRIDGE]

[REFRAIN:]
We are the warriors
Let's wage this war
We are the guardians
Of the land that's been our realm
Brave men's realm
Brave men's realm
Brave men's realm

[SOLO]

[REFRAIN 2x]

Vido, jak jsou lido
Stole voce rozhnovano?
Coto, jak ztrocejo svou svobodu
Neno nikoho
Kdo by je ochronil
Od nebezpeoo
Ktero ooho na zopado

[BRIDGE:]
Kdyo jsou naoe osady bezmocno
A kdyo se k nom sousedo obrotili zody
Tehdy musome droet pospolu
Pevno sevoot no a sekeromlat

Nevidom naoe bratry
Na vochodo kteoo
Byli obsazeni Maoary
Dovejte pozor na to novo krolovstvo
Na zopado, ktero
Se snaoo uchvotit celou naoi zem

[BRIDGE]

[REFRAIN:]
My jsme ti bojovnoci
Veome tuto volku
My jsme ti stroci
Zemo, jeo vody byla naoo ooo
ooo stateonoch muoo
ooo stateonoch muoo
ooo stateonoch muoo

[SOLO]

[REFRAIN 2x]

10. Nothing But Dust

Courageous men joined and
Led fights and waged the wars
They tried to make the nation one
But after these thirteen
Years when the last duke died
Nobody's come to wave the flag

[BRIDGE:]
Nobody's come lead the noble men
Nobody will save freemen's dream

[REFRAIN:]
Moravian
Moravian wasteland
Now Moko blows
Ashes and dust
Over all
Moravian wasteland
Ruins of the great empire

No brave men can again
Lead fights and wage the wars
No people listen to the call
Cause after these thirteen
Years when the last duke died
They've lost their hope and will to survive

[BRIDGE]

[REFRAIN]

[SOLO]

[REFRAIN 2x]

11. Out Of The Ashes

Pain and fear where great realm used to be
Powerful country
Flames and smoke rise from the border forts
Redoubts on fire

[BRIDGE:]
Grief, decay, and doom
Taking their toll on this land
Hopeless lords
Decided to wait

New kingdom on west keeps growing strong
Bohemian nation
Gains more space, more men
And great support
Germanic favour

[BRIDGE]

[REFRAIN:]
Our dukeless lands's meeker
Too weak to fight back
Their force is much firmer
Week after week, day after day
As we wait
Soon we'll be too late and
There might be no chance
To rise up and win back
Safety and land
Which was our forefathers' realm

[SOLO]

I wish we could again
Stand proud but silence reveals
That most our courage lays
Buried deep under the fear
All these fears are hard to bear
Future hangs in balance
Will we go or stay
Enter the fight
Kill for our lives

[BRIDGE]

[REFRAIN]

12. Homage To The Great

Question my dream and
Laugh at my hope
I shan't surrender
Shan't fear for future at all

I believe that wisdom
Of our forefathers will
Forever be praised and
Be always remembered well

[REFRAIN:]
Pay tribute to Great Moravians
Guess whoever strayed Moravians

Great realm collapsed
Many centuries passed
Where history goes
May teach us cherish the past

Who questions your dreams and
Laughs at all of your hopes
May make you surrender
Give up the future and life

[REFRAIN]

Rising forever
Guess whoever strayed Moravians
Pay tribute to Great Moravians
Wonder forever
Guess whoever strayed Moravians

[SOLO]

[REFRAIN]

Pay to forever
Guess whoever strayed Moravians
Wonder forever
I'm one of the great Moravians
Deep in my heart
I am the child of the great ones Moravians

Question my dream and
Laugh at my hope
I shan't surrender
Shan't fear for future at all

13. Aeons Gone Away

Aeons come and go
Numerous centuries passed
Great empire is lost
Buried by doubt and weird fear

Even today one may be asked
If there is a sense
To learn from past, what our fate is
And where we all go

We may learn from the past
How brave our nation's once been
We should learn it fast
That fight for freedom is real

Even today that fight is led
To never be stopped
Let's learn from past, what our fate is
And where we all go

[REFRAIN 2x]
Aeons come and go away
Will you try to learn
From what's wrong
In the times that strangled all
Hope of a nation so strong

[SOLO]

[REFRAIN]

Hear the voice Moravian
Hear the voice Great Moravian
It's your choice proud Moravian
Be the voice, Great Moravian
Hear the voice, my Moravians
Be the voice, Great Moravians

[SOLO]

[REFRAIN]
