Prologue - Eluveitie

When I reminisce about all those years, I see many things.

Life and death

Strung together like the mountains and valleys in which we lived.

There was

Wealth and opulence, but also tribulation and loss.

There was laughter and

Song, and there was also tears

But even more than tears, blood was shed.

And so many were left to their

Unadorned graves, unburied.

But to us, death was but another journey.

And

Close by the darkness through which we strode, there was also light.

The

Light of life and immortality

And after all, when I reminisce about those years, I mostly remember our

Songs.

We sang… as if to drown out the sound of clashing swords, as if

The battle cries fell silent… because war had lost its meaning
