Lyrics The Uprising - Eluveitie

The Uprising

Our estates are under fire
Our villers 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 the flash of our last hope
Will you ally with us?
Wake up — open your eyes
Reach out
And seize this golden venture
We’ve lost ourselves in strife
While the raptor unopposedly
Clatus at Gallia’s free lands
We have to call a halt this
Unite the tribes and rise
Take a look around yourself
And see this time is ours
The last call to rise up Our lands are under fire
Our villers 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 eagles beak burst on our shields
Unite!
This is Gallia Uprising!
Chieftains!
The eagles empire
stretched out it’s 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 eve greater vision is crying
out to be seen:
country of our own, a free Gaul.
Let us stand against the eagle!
Unite the tribes!
