Ategnatos

Lyrics

[Narration: Alexander Morton] Oh bright sun of the night I lift my eyes up to thee Oh ye amber golden light Let the dark sweep over me Mighty cauldron I surrender all to thee Panacean nothingness When nothing is left [Fabienne Erni] Ategnatos Eluveitie Ategnatos Eluveitie Ategnatos Eluveitie Ategnatos Eluveitie [Verse 1: Chrigel Glanzmann] On the winnow fields They beheld the gate Trembling with fear And afraid to forfeit Anxiously They clinged to table scrabs As if to aver Their deprivation [Pre-Chorus: Chrigel Glanzmann] And the swine crowed round The shining lot of pearls [Chorus: Chrigel Glanzmann & Fabienne Erni] With empty hands The high king reigns Nothing but light The raven flies [Bridge: Chrigel Glanzmann] A fool is the slave Who fears not his fetters But watches over them with jealousy [Verse 2: Chrigel Glanzmann] On the winnow fields They beheld their lives Paralysed with fear In the presence of the Vergobret So they cherished Doctrines of denial And wallowed In poor men's tales [Instrumental Break] [Pre-Chorus: Chrigel Glanzmann] And the swine crowed round The shining lot of pearls Just like the vultures Grave cadaveric flesh [Chorus: Chrigel Glanzmann & Fabienne Erni] With empty hands The high king reigns Nothing but light The raven flies With empty hands The high king reigns Nothing but light The raven flies Ategnatos Eluveitie Ategnatos Eluveitie
