Meet the Enemy - Eluveitie

There at these ominous shores of river Saone

There at these shores the die has been cast

Valour and honour were stripped off their meaning

We will not know innocence again

At somber nightfall the defenseless were bestially run down

Saone stained with helvetic blood

You will not shake hands with arrant beliers

You'd rather die than turn into minions

Freedom was our highest good

We ventured our lives

Meet the liar

This dead black night

Our destiny revealed

Meet the enemy

It will... never be the same

At these portentous shores of river Saone

Valour and honour bereft of their meaning

The blood on your hands will forever stay

Freedom was our highest good

We ventured our lives

Meet the liar

This dead black night

Our destiny revealed

Meet the enemy

It will... never be the same

It's not us to go under the Yoke.

Of that fact the Roman people are witness.

We will not bow

Meet the enemy

Meet the liar

Meet the enemy
