Ategnatos

[Narration: Alexander Morton]
Oh bright sun of the night
I lift my eyes up to thee
Oh ye amber golden light
Let the dark sweep over me
I surrender all to thee
When nothing is left

[Fabienne Erni]
Ategnatos Eluveitie
Ategnatos Eluveitie
Ategnatos Eluveitie
Ategnatos Eluveitie

[Verse 1: Chrigel Glanzmann]
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: Chrigel Glanzmann]
And the swine crowed round
The shining lot of pearls

[Chorus: Chrigel Glanzmann & Fabienne Erni]
With empty hands
The high king reigns
Nothing but light
The raven flies

[Bridge: Chrigel Glanzmann]
A fool is the slave
Who fears not his fetters
But watches over them with jealousy

[Verse 2: Chrigel Glanzmann]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus: Chrigel Glanzmann]
And the swine crowed round
The shining lot of pearls
Just like the vultures
Grave cadaveric flesh

[Chorus: Chrigel Glanzmann & Fabienne Erni]
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

Ategnatos Eluveitie
