[00:32.49]
[00:35.71]Arhys:
[00:39.24]As fearless leader of the Ravenskill militia
[00:45.22]The blood of warriors flows throughout my veins
[00:51.85]My brother’s gift remains my secret ammunition
[00:57.76]It is our hope, our pride, a catalyst for change
[01:02.99]
[01:03.93]Still the fires of revolution
[01:08.08]Burn within my eyes
[01:11.33]On this perilous road to freedom,
[01:15.51]He’s our one and only guide
[01:19.03]
[01:20.34]For many years, I’ve seen Our people starve and suffer
[01:26.56]How many more will die before we stand and fight?
[01:32.92]They ask me “Arhys, could things be any tougher?”
[01:39.18]The answer’s no surprise, “Yes, you bet your life”
[01:43.50]
[01:44.48]Now the fires of revolution
[01:48.76]Won’t burn forevermore
[01:52.05]I see liberty in our future,
[01:56.26]And it’s one worth fighting for
[01:59.00]
[02:00.60]We all long for a better life
[02:07.25]Like a dream that can’t be denied
[02:13.59]This is the moment, now is the time
[02:19.88]Freedom if we live or if we die
[02:23.12]
[03:01.30]I shall give him a better life
[03:07.28]I swore this vow to my dying wife
[03:13.49]Sure, she would not survive
[03:18.29]
[03:19.99]Peacefully she slipped away
[03:25.97]The meaning in my life
[03:29.02]Was born that day
[03:32.12]And so I found the strength to carry on
[03:36.68]With this crusade It is my fate
[03:44.34]
[03:45.80]Evangeline, you lived a life of misery and pain
[03:51.78]Evangeline, I’ll never let your memory die in vain
[03:58.20]Evangeline, my heavy heart still bleeds
[04:03.61]
[04:04.11]I dedicate my life to set him free
[04:10.38]And I will carry on to plant the seeds
[04:16.60]I promise in the name of our new son;
[04:22.85]This battle won’t be over until it’s won!
