lyrics

The Tempting Distance

Trust in our force,
We've reached what we dared
We have found what we sought
The power lies in our hands
- use it now
There're still people starving
and dying in vain
Our help is in great demand

Their need is urging us to go on
'cause what we've gained
Is nowhere near enough

What’s next?

I say we take the royal frigate and sail along the stream
To free the needy people and find our destiny
Fall prey to the temptation,
All set to cross this land
Now raise the raven banner
And gather every man

Come, follow me
I'll show you this new way
This new goal to aim
rely on your kinsman

There is no doubt:
This land needs no king,
needs no throne or command
Their reign only harmed our people

Their need is urging us to go on
'cause what we've gained
Is nowhere near enough

What’s Next?

I say we take the royal frigate and sail along the stream
To free the needy people and find our destiny
Fall prey to the temptation,
All set to cross this land
Now raise the raven banner
I count on every man

Taking and raiding, invading
this land from below, now to cast off the yoke

facing and claiming, defying
our fortune, show what we are capable of

Sweep through the dales like a promising storm
wrecking all trails of this monarchy
The river will take us to places where we
have to reverse this dire tragedy

Maybe you’re right and we're foredoomed to fail
But if we are to turn back the greed we'll be immortal

Their need is urging us to go on
'cause what we've gained
Is nowhere near enough

What’s Next?

I say we take the royal frigate and sail along the stream
To free the needy people and find our destiny
Fall prey to the temptation,
All set to cross this land
Now raise the raven banner
We’re off to the unknown

Now raise the raven banner
We’re off to the unknown
