Thurisaz – ...betrayal lyrics

As they command, they force you to obey
Sucking all strength that is left away
No power left to resist another day
Another victim of everyday's routine

Well here I am, when someone calls my name
After all, I'll do anything you say
Well here I am, though inside my pride remains
A small glimpse of light that'll never fade

Unlock and release what's left of courage inside
Tell them your thoughts, don't hold back this time
Convince yourself, then fulfill your aim
Your righteous place that is yours to claim

Well here I am, when someone calls my name
After all, I'll do anything you say
Well here I am, though inside my pride remains
A small glimpse of light that'll never fade

And as I look back to all these oppressed years
I still feel the suffering and see their tears
An entire nation had lost their hope and pride
"Raise your fist there's no more time to lose!"

Now is the time to leave our past behind,
We'll stand up and fight for all that's worth!
Fight!

Well here I am, when someone calls my name
'Cause after all, I'll do anything you say

In the slaughter that followed, many brave men died for the cause of justice,
Against the oppressors that tyrannized the land
In the end neither side had won
Many lives were she'd under a bloodred sun
And as the moon rose over thousands of corpses
It was said that this battle was lost even before it began.
