about

The song it's based on is 'Ludwig van Beethoven - Egmont Overture'

lyrics

a fearsome and virtuous knight
fought for the crown and his king
now finding himself on the wrong side
invited to come kiss the ring

keeping his people in line
taming the forthcoming storm
justice and freedom
the time's now, we need them
not by the way of a war

why would you go
when you're aware that they will never back down

they will betray you
in a heartbeat they don't need a reason

i'm asking you to
save yourself from certain death by sundown

they'll see you jailed alive
brought out in chains and killed for treason

pride and honor
fight your order
no oppression
no concessions

imprisoned and destined for death
the execution drawing near
let his death be an icon, a symbol
that we can be free of tyrannical fear

a hero, a martyr for all
a legacy born of his pride
respectability
now no concern to me
sturm und drang our battle cry

[prechorus]

[chorus]

take our freedom
never beaten
our solution
revolution
