Eluveitie - Prologue (Helvetios) lyrics

When I reminisce about all those years
I see many things life and death
Strung together like the
Mountains and valleys
In which we lived there was
Wealth and opulence
But also tribulation and loss
There was laughter and
Song, and there was also tears

But even more than tears
Blood was shed and so many were left to their
Unadorned graves, unburied but to us
Death was but another journey and
Close by the darkness through
Which we strode, there was also light the
Light of life and immortality

And after all, when I
Reminisce about those years
I mostly remember our
Songs we sang as if to drown
Out the sound of clashing swords, as if
The battle cries fell silent because
War had lost it's meaning
