Batavian Revolt Songtext
von 5bridgeS

In the oakwoods′ sacred shade
Warriors swear their solemn oath to rise
Nothing can stop them in their raid
Legions almighty taken by surprise
Taxes and tributes are at stake
Civilization, what a fake!
Asks for more than they can take
Finally proud men do awake
In the oakwoods' sacred shade
Vows of freedom bravely are obtained

Armies could not stop them
They were ruthless in revenge
They laid siege to Roman fortress
Took it in the end
Its commander brave and noble, munius by name
Sent to priestess who predicted victory by fame


Sent to me? A nice surprise
What am I to do?
Tell me where you come from
Tell me where you come from
Tell me where you come from
And who the hell are you?

So there he was
Captured by barbarians
Lost in the dusky woods
Of no man′s land

Priestess who awaited him
Revolting chieftains' ally
Beautiful she was
Though sad she looked
Goddess fierce in gesture opened his heart!

Munius is my name and brave I am
I joined the army and survived
No single mission I have failed
Although of my dignity deprived
My father is a country nobleman
As my career was meant to be
On secret duty down in Brittany
I met my fiercest enemy


Goddess knows the closest friends we were
But then misfortune showed at once
He was captured by our foes who tortured him
I ran and took my chance
Faithfully I returned to rescue him
His soul was broken, body wrecked
He lost his eye and put the blame on me
Such bitter end of righteous act!

How cruel this is!
Cursed by the man I truly miss!

Spare me your story, don't play your tricks on me
Once ′had a lover just like you
Same old story of a Roman nobleman
I know misfortune too
I′ll have to find a way to work this out
As stories mingle, life goes on
Tell me now, what we're supposed to do
For deeply I have cherished you

Nah nah nah nah nah naahaa!
Woe! woe!
What am I supposed to do?

Nah nah nah nah nah naahaa!
Friend, foe!
Where does this lead us to?

Nah nah nah nah nah naahaa!
So, so
Separate lives for me and you
