lyrics

Verse 1
Taken prisoner by the governor, corruption runs in his blood
I will not bow to another man, don’t feel like anyone should
Forced to shoot an apple off the head of my beloved son
An extra arrow in case I missed was for assassination

Chorus
Rise against the fascist regime, independence or death
Don’t back down from the fight of your life
Take aim, draw back, and shoot

Verse 2
We set sail on Lake Lucerne, I am bound in chains
The tyrant forces us to journey on through storm and pouring rain
The wind is strong and the waves are high, the sailors quake with fear
Then I am forced to take the wheel, my chains are loose and I steer

Verse 3
I set a course for the rocky shore, then I abandon ship
I run for freedom and for my life, my bolt and crossbow in grip
Vengeful governor in hot pursuit, rebellion’s what we need
I shoot my arrow between his eyes, we must let Switzerland breathe

The result is a fresh and energetic take on classic metal of the early 80s. Jesse Feyen is his name, and Ancient Relic is his band. ... more
