Lyrics
INT. RAVENSKILL REBEL COMMAND - NIGHT
“Attention, battalion!
To rank right, face!
Forward, march!”
[Arhys]
As fearless leader of the Ravenskill militia
The blood of warriors flows throughout my veins
My brother’s gift remains my secret ammunition
It is our hope, our pride, a catalyst for change
Still the fires of revolution burn within my eyes
On this perilous road to freedom, he’s our one and only guide
For many years, I’ve seen Our people starve and suffer
How many ... See More
“Attention, battalion!
To rank right, face!
Forward, march!”
[Arhys]
As fearless leader of the Ravenskill militia
The blood of warriors flows throughout my veins
My brother’s gift remains my secret ammunition
It is our hope, our pride, a catalyst for change
Still the fires of revolution burn within my eyes
On this perilous road to freedom, he’s our one and only guide
For many years, I’ve seen Our people starve and suffer
How many ... See More
