Oh remember the proud Hellenic civilisation
The cradle of Europe where it all began
Or the Portuguese and Spanish Armada
Overwhelming Thy power, a tribute to the south
Bruges, Antwerp, Ghent forever in my hearts
Representing medieval Flemish pride
Brave Teutonic, French and English knights
Thy shining armour now long vanished
Thy glory, however, forever remains
Praised be the Scandinavian hordes
Once the nightmare of the Christian world
I talk not of mercy
I talk not of fear
The hopeless warriors of a Willing Doom
Children of Italia
In ancient times “Roma Caput Mundi”
De Verenigde Nederlanden, parel van het noorden
Belgium and The Netherlands stood as one
Mother Europe born from your womb
Mother Europe on Your soil shall be my tomb
I talk not of mercy
I talk not of fear
The hopeless warriors of a Willing Doom
Oh what that gallant spirit shall resume
Leap from Europe’s bank and call Thee from the tomb
(Hail to the sons of eastern Europe
the Slavonian soul never fades)
Blessed are Scotland, Ireland and Bretagne
Where the Celtic dream still lives on
Shall be my tomb!
ARIS
Hear me, ancient forefather (Ambiorix)
Honoured be Thy deeds
Leading our tribes against the aggressor
Outnumbered, a campaign that could not be won
(But forever Thy blood in my veins)
Gracious Spartan civilisation
Eternally blessed Thy war spirit
Surrounded by thousands of Persians
“Molon lave” a final proud statement
(None of thee survived
but Thy Hellenic glory is everlasting)
Noble was your cause, brave Vercingetorix
Sad the day of your sacrifice
An example to your Celt tribe
Dying in solitude
(But Thy soul) forever in my heart
Remember the moment Jerusalem fell
The shrieks of the conquered, the conqueror’s yell
The roofs that we fired, and the plunder we shared
The wealty we slaughtered, the lovely we spared
Aris! And Aris hone!
Mars! And Mars rose!
Geuzen der Lage Landen
Van Antwerpen, Amsterdam to Den Briel
Helden der Calvanistische droom
Nachtmerrie der Spaanse/Roomse overheerser
Voor eeuwig Uw Bloed in onze aderen
Noble was your cause, brave Vercingetorix
Sad the day of your sacrifice
Hear me, ancient forefather (Ambiorix)
Honoured be Thy deeds
Leading our tribes against the aggressor
Outnumbered, a campaign that could not be won
Forever Thy Blood in my veins
Noble was your cause
Sad the day of your sacrifice
An example to our tribe
Ancient Rites è una band belga di black metal (inizialmente) e folk metal (recentemente) formatasi nel 1988. La formazione iniziale comprendeva i chitarristi Johan e Phillip, il batterista Stefan e Gunther Theys al basso e alla voce. Nel 1990 venne pubblicato il demo *Dark Ritual* nell'underground, ottenendo attenzione mondiale proprio mentre il black metal stava guadagnando importanza nella scena metal. Poco dopo la pubblicazione del demo, Phillip morì in un incidente d'auto e poco dopo Stefan si suicidò. Nonostante questo doloroso episodio per la band, decisero di continuare e al posto di Stefan venne assunto Walter Van Cortenberg, suo roadie. Ancient Rites ha pubblicato numerosi album, tra cui *The Darkest Hour* (1994), *Blood of the Ancients* (1996) e *The Serpent's Embrace* (2003). Il loro stile musicale è caratterizzato da sonorità dark e atmosferiche, con influenze folk e melodiche. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si possono citare *Dark Ritual*, *Blood of the Ancients* e *The Serpent's Embrace*.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
