(Ode to Ancient) Europa - Ancient Rites

From gallia to germania
I still hear the ancient warcry
Roma to brittania
I still hear the ancient battlecry
The great old
European heroes the proud old
European names
Like snow now melted for sunlight today their lustre gleams
Gone are the great old empires the proud old names are low
That shed a glory over the ancient world a thou sand years ago
But wandering the medieval cities beholding our ancient lands
Albion saxonia land of
Franks constructed by our ancestor's hands
From erin to caledonia
I still hear the ancient warcry
Ellada to helvetia
I still hear the ancient battlecry
From lusitania to hispania
I still hear the ancient warcry
Mycenae to macedonia
I still hear the ancient battlecry
In the country of our fathers on the land and sea
Can you hear a million voices
Thy forefathers summoning thee
Summoning thee
Many centuries ago beyond the hazy space
In brittany
Eire and caledonia there dwelt a mighty race
Celts they were called like their holy oaks they had a giant grace
Fierce was the byzantine empire spread over the balkans asia minor and greece combining eastern and western tradition a gateway to the east
Slavonian kingdoms empires and tribes
Defending their ancient lands and rights
From invading hordes from the
East thousands slaughtered
Fair
Men and beast
From byzantium to phoenicia
I still hear the ancient warcry
Etruria to cymru
I still hear the ancient battlecry
