Let's hope for the good and no trouble
When all just seems fair Think of the long gone days When history was made out of Wish for tomorrow That's filled with love and lived in freedom Let there be no fear,no sorrow When there was no hope for a future This wish still remained To fight the evil reign From ruling freemen's land Men in arms Rose up against the bad History's been made Out of wars 02. Forefather's Realm
History books tell us little of the times
When the nation dukeless held the country's reign At the very twilight of tenth century Moravians remained free They were my forefathers Those courageous men They were my forefathers Praise those guardians, our pride History books tell us where the empire was When the first duke came and united the lands In some eighty years the situation's changed Country's crumbled without head They were my forefathers Those courageous men They were my forefathers Praise those guardians, our pride Great empire, Moravian realm That was our country's dawn Great empire, Moravian realm Our country's dawn They were my forefathers Those courageous men They were my forefathers Praise those guardians, our pride Great empire, Moravian realm That was our country's dawn Great empire, Moravian realm Our country's dawn Great empire, Moravian realm That was our country's dawn Great empire, Moravian realm Our country's dawn Thirteen years passed Since last duke died Since we lost Our lord Thirteen years passed Years drenched in blood Our country's dawn Great empire, Moravian realm That was our country's dawn Great empire, Moravian realm Our country's dawn 03. Never Give Up
Don't you give up your fight
We shan't obey dead-end fate Days have darkened and soured When search for shelter's been vain We aren't tired enough To dig up our graves Where has my duke gone Where are his kin now We aren't tired enough To lay in our graves Where has my duke gone Where are his kin now Battle is on, our aim is clear We shall walk out as free Battle is on, our aim is set Or else we won't come back There's no time to comply Accept the foreigners' law Brave men've governed this land Since very earliest days We aren't tired enough To dig up our graves Where has my duke gone Where are his kin now We aren't tired enough To lay in our graves Where has my duke gone Where are his kin now Battle is on, our aim is clear We shall walk out as free Battle is on, our aim is set Or else we won't come back We shan't comply with rule Of foreigners'reign Brave men have been our dukes Battle is on, battle is on Till we win We shan't give up our fight We don't take this fate Don't care for cold and dark Battle is on, battle is on Till we win We shan't comply with rule Of foreigners' reign Brave men have been our dukes Battle is on, battle is on Till we win We aren't tired enough To dig up our graves Where has my duke gone Where are his kin now We aren't tired enough To lay in our graves Where has my duke gone Where are his kin now Battle is on, our aim is clear We shall walk out as free Battle is on, our aim is set Or else we won't come back We'll never give up fight Don't take this fate Never mind cold and dark Battle is on We'll never give up fight Don't take this fate Never mind cold and dark Battle is on 04. The Blackest Wings
Land's fallen a sleep
Dust, ash and smoke Fill night with evil You can't see the force Feeding on cruel night And on lives of the brave She's certainly come Spreading her wings Searching the country With her blackened eyes She's looking for each flash Of a mind weak or tired Feel Morana Spread her wings over the country Spreading her great dark wings She'll turn her head Look in your eyes She'll search your soul, your soul What could she find Inside your mind Is there a hope, oh hope? She's certainly come Spreading her wings Searching the country With her blackened eyes She's looking for each flash Of a mind weak or tired Feel Morana Spread her wings over the country Spreading her great dark wings She'll turn her head Look in your eyes She'll search your soul, your soul What could she find Inside your mind Is there a hope, oh hope? She'll turn her head Look in your eyes She'll search your soul, your soul What could she find Inside your mind Is there a hope, oh hope? What will you tell her If ever asked Proud Moravian How did you help your country? 05. Everlasting Fame
Wake! As tomorrow
Is not gonna wait Our darkened and mournful tomorrow Is going to take Our homes and land down the stream The endlessly flowing stream of time Time that's killed And ruined many mighty realms before Let's hold the future Firm in our hands Our unique and only one future There's no other chance Our homes and land need each hand Every hand clenches axe or sword Every hand That may be able to take control No one shall suppress our land Nobody dictates our lives Freemen's realm shan't obey Moravian country shan't die No one shall suppress our land Nobody dictates our lives Freemen's realm shan't obey Moravian country shan't die See our fame reach the sky Moravian country shan't die Tomorrow is not gonna wait Dark and mournful is sky We shall thrust Swords at fiends' hearts Freemen's realm'll never obey Freemen's realm shan't obey Moravian country shan't die No one shall suppress our land Nobody dictates our lives Freemen's realm shan't obey Moravian country shan't die See our fame reach the sky Moravian country shan't die 06. Unchained Land
Down from the mountains high
Past hills and meadows That's where hawks fly up in the sky Downstream the rivers wide Past ponds and branches That's where the country draws The life sap from its roots Follow the streams that run Past towns and castles Growing stronger, deep and wide Trace ruins of mighty realm Seek for its remnants Whose greatest share is there Living in your heart Come, see Great history lays open Come, see Our roots are here Come, hear All country tells the story Come, hear Glorious realm Come, see Great history lays open Come, see Our roots are here Come, hear All country tells the story Come, hear Glorious realm Come, see Great history lays open Come, see Our roots are here Come, hear All country tells the story Come, hear Glorious realm 07. Hero
No more
Talk of decay I've heard Your mournful prayer If the nation rose Got rid off the weak We might conquer back What was our realm Where's your faith gone Where is the will Face the future Without fear No more Grieving for the dead Search for Leader's in vain No one ever has Saved a nation's peace One hero won't make Enemies flee Where's your faith gone Where is the will Face the future Without fear Let our anger grow Make it shatter the walls That divide our dream From the world that's real One hero won't bring Back the pride and glory Let's unite, fight back For the realms We had No more Talk of decay I've heard Your mournful prayer If the nation rose Got rid off the weak We might conquer back What was our realm Where's your faith gone Where is the will Face the future Without fear Let our anger grow Make it shatter the walls That divide our dream From the world that's real One hero won't bring Back the pride and glory Let's unite, fight back For the realms We had ...Great Moravian Realm Let our anger grow Make it shatter the walls That divide our dream From the world that's real One hero won't bring Back the pride and glory Let's unite, fight back For the realms We had Let our anger grow Make it shatter the walls That divide our dream From the world that's real 08. Calm Down the Fury
Please dress the altar
And carefully say Each of the prayers That may bring us hope Force in the young man Caught in last raid And chant all the prayers That may bring us hope BRIDGE To calm the furies down This man is doomed to die To bring our empire back We shall make this sacrifice The priest is raising hand To stab the chest and then Take out his beating heart And life To calm the furies down This man is doomed to die We'll win our freedom back in war Win back in war Dress many more altars And carefully say Each of the prayers That strengthen our hope Force in the young men Caught in the raids And chant all the prayers That feed up our hope To calm the furies down This man is doomed to die To bring our empire back We shall make this sacrifice The priest is raising hand To stab the chest and then Take out his beating heart And life To calm the furies down This man is doomed to die We'll win our freedom back in war Win back in war The priest is raising hand To stab the chest and then Take out his beating heart And life To calm the furies down This man is doomed to die We'll win our freedom back in war Win back in war 09. Brave Men's Chant
Can you see the people
Growing angry As they feel their freedom's getting lost There's no one To protect them From the danger That's awaiting in the west When our settlements are helpless When the neighbours backed away Then we have to stick together Clench the knife and battleaxe I can't see our brothers In the east who Have been occupied by Hungarians Watch out for new kingdom In the west who's Trying to seize all our land When our settlements are helpless When the neighbours backed away Then we have to stick together Clench the knife and battleaxe We are the warriors Let's wage this war We are the guardians Of the land that's been our realm Brave men's realm Brave men's realm Brave men's realm We are the warriors Let's wage this war We are the guardians Of the land that's been our realm Brave men's realm Brave men's realm Brave men's realm We are the warriors Let's wage this war We are the guardians Of the land that's been our realm Brave men's realm Brave men's realm Brave men's realm 10. Nothing But Dust
Courageous men joined and
Led fights and waged the wars They tried to make the nation one But after these thirteen Years when the last duke died Nobody's come to wave the flag Nobody's come lead the noble men Nobody will save freemen's dream Moravian Moravian wasteland Now Moko? blows Ashes and dust Over all Moravian wasteland Ruins of the great empire No brave men can again Lead fights and wage the wars No people listen to the call Cause after these thirteen Years when the last duke died They've lost their hope and will to survive Nobody's come lead the noble men Nobody will save freemen's dream Moravian Moravian wasteland Now Moko? blows Ashes and dust Over all Moravian wasteland Ruins of the great empire Moravian Moravian wasteland Now Moko? blows Ashes and dust Over all Moravian wasteland Ruins of the great empire ...Ruins of the mighty Moravian Moravian wasteland Now Moko? blows Ashes and dust Over all Moravian wasteland Ruins of the great empire 11. Out of the Ashes
Pain and fear where great realm used to be
Powerful country Flames and smoke rise from the border forts Redoubts on fire Grief, decay, and doom Taking their toll on this land Hopeless lords Decided to wait New kingdom on west keeps growing strong Bohemian nation Gains more space, more men And great support Germanic favour Grief, decay, and doom Taking their toll on this land Hopeless lords Decided to wait Our dukeless lands's meeker Too weak to fight back Their force is much firmer Week after week, day after day As we wait Soon we'll be too late and There might be no chance To rise up and win back Safety and land Which was our forefathers' realm I wish we could again Stand proud but silence reveals That most our courage lays Buried deep under the fear All these fears are hard to bear Future hangs in balance Will we go or stay Enter the fight Kill for our lives Grief, decay, and doom Taking their toll on this land Hopeless lords Decided to wait Our dukeless lands's meeker Too weak to fight back Their force is much firmer Week after week, day after day As we wait Soon we'll be too late and There might be no chance To rise up and win back Safety and land Which was our forefathers' realm 12. Homage to the Great

Aeons Gone Away
Aeons come and go
Numerous centuries passed Great empire is lost Burried by doubt and weird fear Even today one may be asked If there is a sense To learn from past, what our fate is And where we all go We may learn from the past How brave our nation´s once been We should learn it fast That fight for freedom is real Even today that fight is led To never be stopped Let´s learn from past, what our fate is And where we all go Aeons come and go away Will you try to learn From what´s wrong In the times that strangled all Hope of a nation so strong Aeons come and go away Will you try to learn From what´s wrong In the times that strangled all Hope of a nation so strong Aeons come and go... Aeons come and go away Will you try to learn From what´s wrong In the times that strangled all Hope of a nation so strong Hear the voice Moravian Hear the voice Great Moravian It´s your choice proud Moravian Be the voice, Great Moravian Hear the voice, my Moravians Be the voice, Great Moravians Aeons come and go away Will you try to learn From what´s wrong In the times that strangled all Hope of a nation so strong |
