Salamandra - Forefathers Realm lyrics

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 [Bridge:] 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 [Bridge:] They were my forefathers... [Refrain:] Great empire, Moravian realm That was our country's dawn Great empire, Moravian realm Our country's dawn [Solo] [Bridge:] They were my forefathers... [Refrain:] Great empire, Moravian realm... ...Glorious roots [Refrain:] Great empire, Moravian realm... ...Glorious roots Thirteen years pa**ed Since last duke died Since we lost Our lord Thirteen years pa**ed Years drenched in blood Our country's dawn [Refrain:] Great empire, Moravian realm... ...Glorious roots
