Eluveitie - Helvetios

In these vigilant times I daydream - an innocuous crime

My motionless stance - in my mind

I wander the land

A bleak and dismal trance

Constrained

unsafe

left in shame

and now I can see my town is painted red

here forever I'll be where once my tears were shed

On that day

in our place I recall the smell of the rain

and I'd protect you from them if you want me to take

take you there again

Good night my love

let me watch

you sleep from here or above

Words like these won't leave this place

Be haunted by our trace

the trace of our…

HOME

The home they want call their own

But for the air that I breathe

the dreams are divine

the memories I'll bring to

A place far from home

The home they want to call province of Rome

I'm trapped without guards

within a state I can't grasp

But we're still free

I am waiting for the clouds to part

all in vain

Nature forsaken

Once admired by us all

does it know we're scared

Scared to move

scared to wake

scared just to be who we were

What matters is just you and me and the path that leads us…

Encircled by friends

the pressure deepens

Dazed by illusions

my reason weakens

But I won't let you fall into deep forlornness

I won't let you ponder the why in distress

A mechanical smile as I lift my face towards the sun

And return to denial

I weep as I kiss the ground

the trees that I'll soon miss

The songs we sang will ring out

the memories will resound
