1. Up for the Past and Future

Let’s hope for the good and no trouble
When all just seems fair
Think of the long gone days
When history was made out of

Wish for tomorrow
That’s filled with love and lived in freedom
Let there be no fear, no sorrow
When there was no hope for a future

This wish still remained
To fight the evil reign
From ruling freemen’s land

Men in arms
Rose up against the bad
History’s been made

Out of wars

2. Forefather’s Realm

History books tell us little of the times
When the nation dukeless held the country’s reign
At the very twilight of tenth century
Moravians remained free

They were my forefathers
Those courageous men
They were my forefathers
Praise those guardians, our pride

History books tell us where the empire was
When the first duke came and united the lands
In some eighty years the situation’s changed
Country’s crumbled without head

They were my forefathers
Those courageous men
They were my forefathers
Praise those guardians, our pride

Great empire, Moravian realm
That was our country’s dawn
Great empire, Moravian realm
Our country’s dawn

They were my forefathers
Those courageous men
They were my forefathers
Praise those guardians, our pride

Great empire, Moravian realm
That was our country’s dawn
Great empire, Moravian realm
Glorious roots

Great empire, Moravian realm
That was our country’s dawn
Great empire, Moravian realm
Glorious roots

Thirteen years passed
Since last duke died
Since we lost
Our lord
Thirteen years passed
Years drenched in blood
Our country’s dawn

Great empire, Moravian realm
That was our country’s dawn
Great empire, Moravian realm
Glorious roots

3. Never Give Up

Don’t you give up your fight
We shan’t obey dead-end fate
Days have darkened and soured
When search for shelter’s been vain

We aren’t tired enough
To dig up our graves
Where has my duke gone
Where are his kin now
We aren’t tired enough
To lay in our graves
Where has my duke gone
Where are his kin now

Battle is on, our aim is clear
We shall walk out as free
Battle is on, our aim is set
Or else we won’t come back

There’s no time to comply
Accept the foreigners’ law
Brave men’ve governed this land
Since very earliest days

We aren’t tired enough
To dig up our graves
Where has my duke gone
Where are his kin now
We aren’t tired enough
To lay in our graves
Where has my duke gone
Where are his kin now

Battle is on, our aim is clear
We shall walk out as free
Battle is on, our aim is set
Or else we won’t come back

We shan’t comply with rule
Of foreigners’reign
Brave men have been our dukes
Battle is on, battle is on
Till we win

We shan’t give up our fight
We don’t take this fate
Don’t care for cold and dark
Battle is on, battle is on
Till we win

We shan’t comply with rule
Of foreigners’ reign
Brave men have been our dukes
Battle is on, battle is on
Till we win

We aren’t tired enough
To dig up our graves
Where has my duke gone
Where are his kin now
We aren’t tired enough
To lay in our graves
Where has my duke gone
Where are his kin now

Battle is on, our aim is clear
We shall walk out as free
Battle is on, our aim is set
Or else we won’t come back

We’ll never give up fight
Don’t take this fate
Never mind cold and dark
Battle is on

We’ll never give up fight
Don’t take this fate
Never mind cold and dark
Battle is on

4. The Blackest Wings

Land’s fallen a sleep
Dust, ash and smoke
Fill night with evil
You can’t see the force
Feeding on cruel night
And on lives of the brave

She’s certainly come
Spreading her wings
Searching the country
With her blackened eyes
She’s looking for each flash
Of a mind weak or tired

Feel Morana
Spread her wings over the country
Spreading her great dark wings

She’ll turn her head
Look in your eyes
She’ll search your soul, your soul
What could she find
Inside your mind
Is there a hope, oh hope?

She’s certainly come
Spreading her wings
Searching the country
With her blackened eyes
She’s looking for each flash
Of a mind weak or tired

Feel Morana
Spread her wings over the country
Spreading her great dark wings

She’ll turn her head
Look in your eyes
She’ll search your soul, your soul
What could she find
Inside your mind
Is there a hope, oh hope?

She’ll turn her head
Look in your eyes
She’ll search your soul, your soul
What could she find
Inside your mind
Is there a hope, oh hope?

What will you tell her
If ever asked
Proud Moravian
How did you help your country?

5. Everlasting Fame

Wake! As tomorrow
Is not gonna wait
Our darkened and mournful tomorrow
Is going to take

Our homes and land down the stream
The endlessly flowing stream of time
Time that’s killed
And ruined many mighty realms before

Let’s hold the future
Firm in our hands
Our unique and only one future
There’s no other chance

Our homes and land need each hand
Every hand clenches axe or sword
Every hand
That may be able to take control

No one shall suppress our land
Nobody dictates our lives

Freemen’s realm shan’t obey
Moravian country shan’t die
No one shall suppress our land
Nobody dictates our lives
Freemen’s realm shan’t obey
Moravian country shan’t die
See our fame reach the sky
Moravian country shan’t die

Tomorrow is not gonna wait
Dark and mournful is sky
We shall thrust
Swords at fiends’ hearts
Freemen’s realm’ll never obey

Freemen’s realm shan’t obey
Moravian country shan’t die
No one shall suppress our land
Nobody dictates our lives
Freemen’s realm shan’t obey
Moravian country shan’t die
See our fame reach the sky
Moravian country shan’t die

6. Unchained Land

Down from the mountains high
Past hills and meadows
That’s where hawks fly up in the sky
Downstream the rivers wide
Past ponds and branches
That’s where the country draws
The life sap from its roots

Follow the streams that run
Past towns and castles
Growing stronger, deep and wide
Trace ruins of mighty realm
Seek for its remnants
Whose greatest share is there
Living in your heart

Come, see Great history lays open
Come, see Our roots are here
Come, hear All country tells the story
Come, hear Glorious realm

Come, see Great history lays open
Come, see Our roots are here
Come, hear All country tells the story
Come, hear Glorious realm

Come, see Great history lays open
Come, see Our roots are here
Come, hear All country tells the story
Come, hear Glorious realm

7. Hero

No more
Talk of decay
I’ve heard
Your mournful prayer
If the nation rose
Got rid off the weak
We might conquer back
What was our realm

Where‘s your faith gone
Where is the will
Face the future
Without fear

No more
Grieving for the dead
Search for
Leader’s in vain
No one ever has
Saved a nation’s peace
One hero won’t make
Enemies flee

Where‘s your faith gone
Where is the will
Face the future
Without fear

Let our anger grow
Make it shatter the walls
That divide our dream
From the world that’s real
One hero won’t bring
Back the pride and glory
Let’s unite, fight back
For the realms
We had

No more
Talk of decay…
I’ve heard
Your mournful prayer
If the nation rose
Got rid off the weak
We might conquer back
What was our realm

Where‘s your faith gone
Where is the will
Face the future
Without fear

Let our anger grow
Make it shatter the walls
That divide our dream
From the world that’s real
One hero won’t bring
Back the pride and glory
Let’s unite, fight back
For the realms
We had

Let our anger grow
Make it shatter the walls
That divide our dream
From the world that’s real
One hero won’t bring
Back the pride and glory
Let’s unite, fight back
For the realms
We had

Let our anger grow
Make it shatter the walls
That divide our dream
From the world that’s real

8. Calm Down the Fury

Please dress the altar
And carefully say
Each of the prayers
That may bring us hope
Force in the young man
Caught in last raid
And chant all the prayers
That may bring us hope

To calm the furies down
This man is doomed to die
To bring our empire back
We shall make this sacrifice

The priest is raising hand
To stab the chest and then
Take out his beating heart
And life
To calm the furies down
This man is doomed to die
We’ll win our freedom back in war
Win back in war

Dress many more altars
And carefully say
Each of the prayers
That strengthen our hope
Force in the young men
Caught in the raids
And chant all the prayers
That feed up our hope

To calm the furies down
This man is doomed to die
To bring our empire back
We shall make this sacrifice

The priest is raising hand
To stab the chest and then
Take out his beating heart
And life
To calm the furies down
This man is doomed to die
We’ll win our freedom back in war
Win back in war

The priest is raising hand
To stab the chest and then
Take out his beating heart
And life
To calm the furies down
This man is doomed to die
We’ll win our freedom back in war
Win back in war

9. Brave Men’s Chant

Can you see the people
Growing angry
As they feel their freedom’s getting lost
There’s no one
To protect them
From the danger
That’s awaiting in the west

When our settlements are helpless
When the neighbours backed away
Then we have to stick together
Clench the knife and battleaxe

I can’t see our brothers
In the east who
Have been occupied by Hungarians
Watch out for new kingdom
In the west who’s
Trying to seize all our land

When our settlements are helpless
When the neighbours backed away
Then we have to stick together
Clench the knife and battleaxe

We are the warriors
Let’s wage this war
We are the guardians
Of the land that’s been our realm
Brave men’s realm
Brave men’s realm
Brave men’s realm

We are the warriors
Let’s wage this war
We are the guardians
Of the land that’s been our realm
Brave men’s realm
Brave men’s realm
Brave men’s realm

We are the warriors
Let’s wage this war
We are the guardians
Of the land that’s been our realm
Brave men’s realm
Brave men’s realm
Brave men’s realm

10. Nothing but Dust

Courageous men joined and
Led fights and waged the wars
They tried to make the nation one
But after these thirteen
Years when the last duke died
Nobody’s come to wave the flag

Nobody’s come lead the noble men
Nobody will save freemen’s dream

Moravian
Moravian wasteland
Now Mokoš blows
Ashes and dust
Over all
Moravian wasteland
Ruins of the great empire

No brave men can again
Lead fights and wage the wars
No people listen to the call
Cause after these thirteen
Years when the last duke died
They’ve lost their hope and will to survive

Nobody’s come lead the noble men
Nobody will save freemen’s dream

Moravian
Moravian wasteland
Now Mokoš blows
Ashes and dust
Over all
Moravian wasteland
Ruins of the great empire

Moravian
Moravian wasteland
Now Mokoš blows
Ashes and dust
Over all
Moravian wasteland
Ruins of the mighty

Moravian
Moravian wasteland
Now Mokoš blows
Ashes and dust
Over all
Moravian wasteland
Ruins of the mighty

11. Out of the Ashes

Pain and fear where great realm used to be
Powerful country
Flames and smoke rise from the border forts
Redoubts on fire

Grief, decay, and doom
Taking their toll on this land
Hopeless lords
Decided to wait

New kingdom on west keeps growing strong
Bohemian nation
Gains more space, more men
And great support
Germanic favour

Grief, decay, and doom
Taking their toll on this land
Hopeless lords
Decided to wait

Our dukeless lands’s meeker
Too weak to fight back
Their force is much firmer
Week after week, day after day
As we wait
Soon we’ll be too late and
There might be no chance
To rise up and win back
Safety and land
Which was our forefathers’ realm

I wish we could again
Stand proud but silence reveals
That most our courage lays
Buried deep under the fear
All these fears are hard to bear
Future hangs in balance
Will we go or stay
Enter the fight
Kill for our lives

Grief, decay, and doom
Taking their toll on this land
Hopeless lords
Decided to wait

Our dukeless lands’s meeker
Too weak to fight back
Their force is much firmer
Week after week, day after day
As we wait
Soon we’ll be too late and
There might be no chance
To rise up and win back
Safety and land
Which was our forefathers’ realm

12. Homage to the Great

Question my dream and
Laught at my hope
I shan’t surrender
Shan’t fear for future at all

I believe that wisdom
Of our forefathers will
Forever be praised and
Be always remembered well

Pay tribute to Great Moravians
Guess whyever strayed Moravians

Great realm collapsed
Many centuries passed
Where history goes
May teach us cherish the past

Who questions your dreams and
Laughs at all of your hopes
May make you surrender
Give up the future and life

Pay tribute to Great Moravians
Rising forever
Guess whyever strayed Moravians
Pay tribute to Great Moravians
Wonder forever
Guess whyever strayed Moravians

Pay tribute to Great Moravians
Pay to forever
Guess whyever strayed Moravians
Wonder forever
I’m one of the great Moravians
Deep in my heart
I am the child of the great ones Moravians

Question my dream and
Laught at my hope
I shan’t surrender
Shan’t fear for future at all

13. Aeons Gone Away

Aeons come and go
Numerous centuries passed
Great empire is lost
Burried by doubt and weird fear
Even today one may be asked
If there is a sense
To learn from past, what our fate is
And where we all go

We may learn from the past
How brave our nation´s once been
We should learn it fast
That fight for freedom is real
Even today that fight is led
To never be stopped
Let´s learn from past, what our fate is
And where we all go

Aeons come and go away
Will you try to learn
From what´s wrong
In the times that strangled all
Hope of a nation so strong

Aeons come and go away
Will you try to learn
From what´s wrong
In the times that strangled all
Hope of a nation so strong

Aeons come and go away
Will you try to learn
From what´s wrong
In the times that strangled all
Hope of a nation so strong

Aeons come and go away
Will you try to learn
From what´s wrong
In the times that strangled all
Hope of a nation so strong

Hear the voice Moravian
Hear the voice Great Moravian
It´s your choice proud Moravian
Be the voice, Great Moravian
Hear the voice, my Moravians
Be the voice, Great Moravians

Aeons come and go away
Will you try to learn
From what´s wrong
In the times that strangled all
Hope of a nation so strong
