When war descends upon us we will respond Defending our land from the changing times And if there is some freedom in this world This world is worth fighting for Devoid of the sun of glory and despised Thou shall fear the blood that flows in our veins Unbent and proud the echo of our name Shall wreak havok in eternity Because we fight for the future to come Hear our war cry We fight til our very last breath Because we're still alive Deep roots never die Our ancient roots Won't wither tonight Deep in our hearts They will never die To no crown or cross Enslaved 'Cause we are still alive "The old that is strong does not wither Deep roots are not reached by the frost" A meaning not forgotten for us all That will be carved in stone for all times Strong ties bound us to the land If united we stand, we shall stand once again Our common past is our home The strength to stand proud for our future to come Deep roots never die Our ancient roots Won't wither tonight Deep in our hearts They will never die To no crown or cross Enslaved 'Cause we are still alive Strong ties bound us to the land If united we stand, we shall stand once again Our common past is our home The strength to stand proud for our future to come
