Lyrics The Uprising - Eluveitie

Our estates are under fire
Our villagers fall prey to pillage
How can we stay on the sideline?
How long will we take this lying down?
Refuse to quell the anger
Time has come to take up arms again
The last call to rise up

Bestir
This is a flash of our last hope
Will you ally with us?
Wake up - open your eyes
Reach out
And seize the golden venture

We've lost ourselves in strife
While the raptor unopposedly
Claws at Gallia's free lands
We have to call a halt of this
Unite the tribes and rise
Take a look around yourself
And see this time is ours
The last call to rise up

Chieftains, the eagle's empire stretched out its talons for our lands
Bribing us, threatening us
Today we are gathered here, all my countrymen
And still some of you hesitate
You are so solicitous about your state in the Roman empire
And while you fight among yourselves for Rome's favour, an even greater vision is crying out to be seen
A country of our own, a free Gaul
Let us stand against the eagle, unite the tribes!

Our lands are under fire
Our villagers fall prey to pillage
How can we stay on the sideline?
How long will we take this lying down?
It is time to join forces
Let the eagle's beak burst on our shields
Unite, this is Gallia uprising!

Bestir
This is a flash of our last hope
Will you ally with us?
Wake up - open your eyes
Reach out
And seize the golden venture

Bestir
This is a flash of our last hope
Will you ally with us?
Wake up - open your eyes
Reach out
And seize the golden venture
