LYRICS
Fraught with so much greed, imperial needs.
Satisfy your hunger for might and blood!
With greedy claws the eagle flew
Leaving chaos and widows on his hunt.
We do not accept to bear the half-moon on our feet
Nor to bow, to the laurel wreath!
"Haec terra mea est" - the urge of your own want
spurring the horse towards the devastating aint.
It's the pauper that accrouches - bared indigence
Your need should cost unnumbered lives!
might and riches you have sought,
willing to pay the price in human lives!
False and fallacious, killing and omnivorous
depleting the value of human life!
But we always knew: You came with fortune
and one day you'd come with steel!
We did not accept to bear the half-moon on our feet!
A tort that pays it wage death?
Well, how does it feel, the blood on your hands?
I hope you had a ball in effacing lives!
Well, how does it feel, the blood on your hands?
I hope the gold you've won bestows your delight!
...standing at the top of all the ruin you have left...
watch our wives remigrate with crooked backs...

Despair not, my Gaulish friends. There is still that village in Armorica, always standing against the oppressors...

[@Luminous242]

Best song they've ever done!

[@thefranzfrom1991]

I did start listening to Eluveitie with this song, like 4 years ago... amazing

[@dylanvalorfall]

I just did with this song 3 days ago and this has quickly become one of my top 5 bands.

[@pavelmavel463]

Same, just like 10 years ago.

If anyone was wondering, "Haec terra mea est" means "This is my land" in Latin.

I dont listen much Eluveitie, compared to other folkmetal bands, but their live show is one of the best and most fun i've ever attended. The huge variety of instruments they bring out makes it really impressive and entertaining.

[@sioliell3469]

What other folk metal bands do you recommend? :,)

[@jkobain]

This is where it all started for me.

[@luispalomares5082]

tremendo himno!!!!!! Grande Eluveitie!

[@thewondersatyourfeet884]

The instrumentals are so sick in tne song soo catchy especially when ur stoned

[@sandrawenger7139]

Well I have to try that :D

[@dantevega5103]

Late as folk but legit am doing this right now xD

[@MrFinntrollin]

This is my favorite Eluveitie song of all time... this version is amazing.

[@Gordyan_Knot]

this music just makes beer taste better, and I fucking love beer.

[@thisIsNotReallyAname]

I never said i dislike inis mona, but yes, of course if a song is complex (and if you know how to appreciate music) you'd like it the most. And I love all those bands, even thought they don't have nothing to do with Folk-Metal

[@tyr844]

Well, new Eluveitie is fine, but songs like this one stay far better

[@kalmonsalmon1946]

Define "new" Eluveitie. You one of the people that believe that because they made a second folk album they've completely stopped making metal all of a sudden?

[@seenbelow]

To me it's everything after Slania.

[@jkobain]

I heard Cellar Darling started doing their own thing.

[@gothgirlgaming9050]

Týr, how nice to see you. Is everything going well in Asgard?

[@irish0dragon0warrior]

Well, they're the band that officially got me into Folk Metal with their song Inis Mona so yeah :3 \m/

[@sandrawenger7139]

My first Eluveitie Song was Lvgvs

[@Zgredomir1993]

I meet eluveitie on metalfest 2019 \m/ now I love folk metal.

[@roguelead72]

To settle the Anna Murphy argument, Anna's first recording with Eluvietie was Slania. Sarah Kiener played hurdy gurdy on Spirit.

[@msrainedrop01]

I blasted this song in my room, and like a ton of people in my neighborhood thought there was a concert in my house. XD :D

Thx for our culture.

[@stockstreamtwitch]

What a throwback 🎉 💪🥳😎

Spirit is the best Eliveitie album!!!

I accept Eluveitie by right has ups and downs but these years were a true test of success.

[@Khleszcz]

Finally something good from Nuclear Blast.

[@DaediusMetal]

Exelent song...exelent album...and...Exelent band!!!!

[@FatherOfStorms]

best Eluveitie song

[@dutch_urth]

Been looking for the original Spirit for well over a year now, and it's nowhere to be found. I guess this is the closest I'll get to finding that album!

[@JohnMartin-qh5if]

I love eluveitie

[@Behemoth29]

I haven't heard of Eluveitie, but this is fucking sick! I'll be sure to check out more of their stuff \m/

[@Tyrisas]

you'll be amazed! I know them for over 4 years now and I still love them so fucking much!

[@ShinobiCarmacao]

These are pictures from 'Spirit' when Anna was not yet in the band. I have to say, they are pretty badass.

[@Mercilon]

I guess I'm always just dumbfounded by that statement because their lyrics, no matter if you think they're not great or even that they use incorrect phrasing, are a million times better than a lot of purely English speaking 'songwriters'! I'm glad you didn't think I was attacking you. So long as you're listening to great tunes such as this! ;-)

[@gringhidu]

it's really worth it! My favourit Band since 2 years...

[@freelineinafreeworld5980]

I love them such epic always heard Inis Mona at second rage in Bayreuth so grüße aus Deutschland, alemagne, Germany 😀🇩🇪😂

I think i just found my favorite band ever!

[@michellesaad7861]

FANTASTIC

[@Skoran]

She didn't play on Spirit, she joined after the recordings. So yes you see her in the video. Just as Chrigel didn't do the vocals on Vên.

[@TheKori]

The Invincible Gaul!

[@nikojinko4608]

To feel the emotion of one human is too much.

[@dedigirl15]

This was the song that made me fall in love with folk metal, and my boyfriend! He had this song as a ringtone at the time \m/

[@Mercilon]

You're not impressed... ...with a band who sing in two languages, neither of which is their native tongue and one of which is a dead language? You're fucking kidding me, right?!

[@mdhall04]

Thats literally part of the reason most of us click this video...

[@Th3Nu1tim4te]

I still wonder if they blames romans or Vercingetorix... oh well his song is awesome!!

[@levediagyermeke]

+Ez Elembho (Karovankas) Well it is not a history channel lesson. But you are fuckin right with this note. Appreciate. I think they are on the Gaulish side all the time.

[@Antiteshmis]

+Ez Elembho (Karovankas) They clearly blame the Romans Fraught with so much greed, imperial needs. => Roman empire With greedy claws the eagle flew => Caesar's golden eagle Nor to bow, to the laurel wreath => Laurel wreath was Caesar's crown spurring the horse towards the devastating aint => Caesar is often portrayed on a horse in "modern" art And so on

[@user-ht4gb2fw4e]

He's blaming that avaricious, power hungry twit, Julius Caesar!! The little pig !!

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

Yeah, Caesar wasn't that good of a man. In Rome, he may have been a good, caring dictator who gave his people what they wanted, but out in the field, he was a fierce fight who showed the European tribes little to no mercy if they didn't choose to become "civilized."

[@commioschiefgaul197]

How can you ask this question Ez Elembho ??? Who did fight in the entire Gaul's war and was at its origin ? Who did massacre the different helvetian tribes in 58 BC near Bibract in central eastern Gaul ? One only answer: Julius Caesar ! Vercingetorix appeared only 6 years later in 52 BC,was the gaulish chief of the rebellion that year but was made prisoner at the end of the enormous siege and battle of Alesia.

[@NathanSalapokni]

Welcome for peace gaad :D I wish you good.

[@lord12irwin]

Good band, good music.

[@user-ht4gb2fw4e]

If any of you visits Pompeii, you remember our women were enslaved in that cruel place! Never forget!!

[@EfnysYersina]

Because slavery did not existed in West Europe Europe before the Roman came right?

[@user-ht4gb2fw4e]

Truth. Celts & Rome both took slaves. It was a sad time. Never to happen again.

[@MicheleMontini]

i wish i was a true metaller like you.

[@ketkedo]

[@Thordermans]

I think all of their songs are amazing. I haven't found a track by them I dislike yet

[@turind0]

There is a mistake: At 0:50 it is written "Now to bow", it is "Nor to bow".

[@afrozenescape]

I really hope they play this live.

[@user-ht4gb2fw4e]

ps: please change that to (Nor To Bow)...............If the bad Roman faction sees (Now To Bow) they will laugh at us! Change the words quickly!!

Bruuuutaaaal! Up Eluveitie!

[@TheJunkieBox]

Definitely, Korpiklaani and Sylosis are the only other bands that have been uploading anything good in the past few weeks.

[@tapasco95]

Ya es un clasico para mi!

[@007zezima]

Eluveitie!!! =D

[@dedigirl15]

fiquei desiludida, muitas pessoas sentiram o mesmo. Aquilo foi mais uma promoçao do novo album que outra coisa. Faltaram grandes êxitos, grandes músicas que o público estava a espera. Para quem estava a espera de os ver a 3 anos, ficaram muito aquem das minhas expectativas.

[@Mochi_Mourningstar]

Seeing them live next week =D

[@nosw1000]

its geat!! i love eluveitie!!

[@zer07777]

Jesus christ people, it's just a picture. Who knows. And all of you saying that Anna was not on Spirit... misinformation... She's been in the band since 2006. She played Hurdy Gurdy only-ish around then. You can OBVIOUSLY see her in the Of Fire Wind And WIsdom music video (which is from spirit).

[@CuriousOnlookers]

Not really sure Spirit /needed/ remastering, but it sounds just as good at least, so I won't complain. And I'll definitely buy this anyway just for Vên. =D

[@zer07777]

You are correct about Anna, my apologies. But Chrigel did some vocals on Ven. Maybe not all, but some.

[@MrBibeli]

My personal Summer Breeze main act.... Fuck Yeah!

[@Lore-94]

Oh ok thanks dude!

[@Gluarinator]

they are redoing their old albums (this one is on the spirit album). anna wasn't at eluveitie back then.

[@Anodudemouse]

Actually I like Spirit versions more... sounds more... bestial. But I love re-recorded songs on CD1. Thanks Eluveitie!

how can you listen to all that simultaneously?

[@keyur441]

epic !!!!!

[@dedigirl15]

Foi mesmo a isso que eu me referi...eles focaram-se mais em promover os 2 ultimos albuns e nao se preocuparam em tocar grandes musicas dos albuns mais antigos como o Spirit, Slania e Evocation I. Limitaram-se apenas a tocar a Inis Mona! Fiquei muito desiludida, queria ter visto o melhor dos Eluveitie e eles não deram o seu melhor como deram a uns anos no Sa da Bandeira na minha opiniao

[@Chaingun]

listening at 0.75 speed, my favorite Doom band now.

[@bmetal2]

woow!!! this song is 1000 times better than inis mona...

[@BaltimoresBerzerker]

Someone is still upset with the Roman's lol

[@gabi-saint]

This song was released in 2006, Anna was not their vocalist then. :)

[@kaussiekai14]

uhhh why is Anna Murphy not featured in the pictures? who is that mantastic woman holding the hurdy gurdy.... Someone please tell me Anna is part of this band??!!!??!?!!

[@Mercilon]

So are they a bad choice of words to adequately convey their intended meaning, or is the lyrical content/meaning just poor? If you weren't aware this is about a Roman-Gaul incident (as a lot of the folklore is) and it has some pretty nice usage of symbology and is an interesting tale. However, I grant you they tend to meld modern English with older (maybe back to Middle) English, and then throw in some strictly Roman terminology and Latin phrases, so it's not easily read.

[@thisIsNotReallyAname]

oooh yeah? the whistles on inis mona are so fucking simple, even the solo is not as difficult as it seems, but try to play this song at that pace and not failing once. This song is even better

[@violentfriend78]

Nope. I'm not kidding. Yes it is impressive that they can sing in two languages that's not of their native tongue. Although they can do that, it doesn't make the lyrics for this specific song any better. It's just my opinion. Good day to you Mercilion. :)

[@Morfeusm]

Where is the women vocalist? Why is not she on promo picture?

[@unleet-e1r]

So, anyone know what "to bear the half-moon on our feet" is in reference to?

[@JanTJaeckx]

+Jason DePeaux Not excactly but in ancient religions the goddess of the moon is besides the goddess of fertility mostly also a goddess of war, because the moon can be seen both at day and night the she is good and bad at same time.

[@xaverius6170]

+Jason DePeaux I think it refers to a type of shoe wealthy Romans (mostly senators) wore. They were called calcei lunati because they had an ivory crescent over the foot. In this song I would guess it stands for the Celts refusing to accept the Roman culture, as in the next line they're refusing to bow to Caesar (symbolized by his laurel wreath he got as a successful commander).

[@TheRainblossoms]

That would stand true (pun not intended) as far as I can translate 'calcei lunati'. Because... who the fuck wants to adopts an invaders culture?

[@chacehorsman2615]

Welcome to world history lmao. Its all conquest for money and then assimilation of natives to the invader's religion and culture.

[@alyssajayneee]

SO much better than Inis Mona.

[@Celtnic]

[@drowzzy221]

Quit comparing people, at least among the tracks of one artist. It's enough that we juxtapose different bands within the entire Metal genre, and even weigh one genre against another. Can't we just enjoy the music and ditch the human tendency to rank for once.

[@skjaldulfr]

The lyrics aswritten here don'teven make sense. I hope those are typos.
