Black banner of the uprising

The sky is torn by strikes of steel,
For centuries in chains we used to kneel.
But a bonfire flared up, awakening hearts,
We go into this battle, we will strike to the end.


Do you hear how the drums of war are beating?
Shadows rise from the deaf silence!

Припев
The black banner of rebellion is fluttering!
Blood on the blades will be spilled this evening.
The shackles are thrown off, we are free again,
Our wrath will crash down as a cold punishment!


The lords are trembling in their stone walls,
Where fear and the cruel whip used to rule,
They will have to turn to ash in the fire of rebellion.


Do you hear how the drums of war are beating?
The light drives away nightmares and dreams!

Припев
The black banner of rebellion is fluttering!
Blood on the blades will be spilled this evening.
The shackles are thrown off, we are free again,
Our wrath will crash down as a cold punishment!


Empires are crumbling in the flames of battle,
Lords and prayers won't save them anymore.
We are paying for freedom with a cruel price,
But each of us won't retreat, a hero!


The winds have scattered the ashes of the crown,
Their golden thrones are smashed to pieces.
And even though we are scarred, and even though we are tired,
But we held the Black banner firmly.

Припев
The black banner of rebellion is fluttering!
Blood on the blades will be spilled this evening.
The shackles are thrown off, we are free again,
Our wrath will crash down as a cold punishment!


Flutters above us...
The black banner!
Freedom or death!
