Eluveitie – Ategnatos
Ategnatos [Verse 1] 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] And the swine crowed round The shining lot of pearls [Chorus] With empty hands The high king reigns Nothing but light The raven flies [Bridge] A fool is the slave Who fears not his fetters But watches over them with jealousy [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] And the swine crowed round The shining lot of pearls Just like the vultures Grave cadaveric flesh [Chorus] 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 |
