Lyrics: Fish
Music: Arjen Anthony Lucassen
Ah, my friends!
So light of foot. So swift. You have come this far.
And now-
here beneath the ancient, omniscient boughs of the Decision Tree
one of you must depart this world of flesh.
Only seven may continue.
Only you can decide....
BARBARIAN:
Let it be known I won't be the one to die here
honor and glory are heaped upon my name
let it be clear I'm not the one who cries here
what about the tall one, the one who's lost to shame
HIGHLANDER:
I've followed princes, I've raised their bloody banners
I've killed and wounded on the side of right
I've reaped the harvest, scattered fields with ashes
I've buried children, sowed the seeds of hate
ALL:
We're aliveļ¼I've followed pricesļ¼
We'll surviveļ¼I've followed kingsļ¼
we will strive for our freedomļ¼I will take their lead no moreļ¼
We're aliveļ¼I will not lieļ¼
We'll surviveļ¼in shallow gravesļ¼
We'll arrive in our Eden
BARBARIAN:
Let it be known, by Thor the god of Lightning
I have been chosen to do battle at his side
let it be clear I was born to go down fighting
what about the craven, the one who's lost his pride?
HIGHLANDER
Don't speak to me, of honor, pride, and glory
I've tasted blood, seen your type before
you talk of battles but all you tell are stories
you'd see me buried in a shallow grave
ALL:
We're aliveļ¼I've followed pricesļ¼
We'll surviveļ¼I've followed kingsļ¼
we will strive for our freedomļ¼I will take their lead no moreļ¼
We're aliveļ¼I will not lieļ¼
We'll surviveļ¼in shallow gravesļ¼
We'll arrive in our Eden(I'm nobody's slave)
ALL:
We're alive
We'll survive
we will strive for our freedom
We're alive
We'll survive
We'll arrive in our Eden
