Eluveitie - Lament lyrics
[Eluveitie - Lament lyrics]
I wonder what we have become
A land so full of riches bought with blood!
A land so free, yet chasing for wind
As we look up to false giant emperors
We've lost our pride of old
The innocence is gone!
Clan of Elveti weep for your land
And your children!
What if we'd still be
Proud and simple minded?
What if there would not be so
Much blood on our invisible hands?
What if there would not be billions
To feed the lusts of war?
What if not all these
Subtle hidden injustices?
What if there would not be a state church
Built upon hypocrisy, instead of faith?
What if we'd still be a simple clan of nature
With all it's frailties but with
Some knowledge of righteousness?
A land so full of riches bought with blood!
A land so free, yet chasing for wind
As we look up to false giant emperors
We've lost our pride of old
The innocence is gone!
Clan of Elveti weep for your land
And your children!
What if we'd still be
Proud and simple minded?
What if there would not be so
Much blood on our invisible hands?
What if there would not be billions
To feed the lusts of war?
What if not all these
Subtle hidden injustices?
What if there would not be a state church
Built upon hypocrisy, instead of faith?
What if we'd still be a simple clan of nature
With all it's frailties but with
Some knowledge of righteousness?
