EUROPICA - PART TWO


Music: J. Petrás – B. Sipos    Lyrics: J. Petrás – P. Nemes

My faith is in the ancient virtue
That God will stand by me and you
In resurrection I believe

Ever since the dawn of all time
Legends have been told about how
Beautiful my dear Homeland is

If you see a cross by the roadside
Wanderer, rest there for a while
And read the names of our heroes

There were those who came before us
They were all young, strong and righteous
They hoped for a better tomorrow

My faith is in the ancient vitrue
That God will stand by me and you
I believe in resurrection
Write down my words, historian!

 Those who follow in our footsteps
They'll stand in our place with respect
They will fight on valiantly

 One day they will tell the fable
They'll say that there was a people
Who took back their dear country



Music: J. Petrás – B. Sipos  Lyrics: J. Petrás – P. Nemes

Oh, how I long to hold my father's strong hand
Just to see his strict eyes looking at me again
It would be good to hear his words so wise
All that he has to teach, I'd heed his advice

 Oh how I long to be in my mother's arms
To trust the world again like an honest child
It would be so good to feel her pure scent
To see the smile on her worrying face again



Music: J. Petrás – B. Sipos – Z. Bäck – Zs. Szíjártó    Lyrics: J. Petrás – P. Nemes

The same sky hangs above our heads
This moment is soon to pass
As long as God's light shines on us
We wake with hope in our hearts 

This place on Earth – may it be blessed,
Where I can lay my head to rest
When I end my long journey
I'll bid you farewell cheerfully. 

Dry leaf drifting in the wind
There comes an end to everything
For every tree there comes a day
When its last flower fades away 

I'll leave my humble footprint
On this riverbank's paving
Waves wash it all away so slow
It floats away with the flow 

Of all your friends, one must be true
A loyal one to bury you
To say goodbye for one last time
Comfort the others left behind

 


Music: J. Petrás – B. Sipos  Lyrics: J. Petrás – P. Nemes

I'm going far away now with the wind
Where thousands of dangers are waiting
The trumpets call, it's time to go
One two three, forward we go

I swear,
I shall always be faithful to you
And that's the only thing that I can do
The trumpets call, it's time to go
One two three, forward we go

Let them cry
Let all the pretty girls cry for me
Every teardrop is a stalk of wheat
The trumpets call, it's time to go
One two three, forward we go

Over there
Where I'm looking for landmines in the fields
That's where I am writing this message
The trumpets call, it's time to go
One two three, forward we go

I shall return on a frosty dawn
And knock on the door of my mother's home
The trumpets call, it's time to go
One two three, forward we go



Music: J. Petrás – B. Sipos   Lyrics: J. Petrás – P. Nemes

Tens of thousands have died on the battelfield
The dead soldiers are now among the stars.
They stand beside our glorious ancestors, in the celestial army of the Lord
And when the day comes when faith and virtue are measured
They shall return as the flaming sword of God 

Where is my home, where mother gave birth to me
The land for which my blood I'd gladly spill
Come rain or come thunder
Be a good loyal soldier 

Ice and fire they go along with me
My doom will find me on the battlefield
Come rain or come thunder
Be a good loyal soldier 

I vow to you, my brothers,
That I shall never engage in the slightest agreement with the enemy
I shall behave at all times according to the laws of war,
worthy of being called a valiant warrior, and so I shall live and die with dignity
So help me God!



Music: J. Petrás – B. Sipos – Z. Bäck – Zs. Szíjártó    Lyrics: J. Petrás – P. Nemes

The taste in my mouth is bitter as bile
Judgement is coming for the vile
The surface glows but there's a rotting inside
For traitors there'll be no place to hide

The mask shatters, I can see what's inside
The time has come, you must decide
Are you a friend or a foe?
Are you a friend or a foe?
Are you a friend or a foe?
You have to decide here and now

Every child's a pure, innocent soul
Whose pain can't be the price of your joy
There is no excuse to your cruelties
If you don't accept this, we're enemies 

The lure of the darkness, the lure of the void
Inside you, the demon seed is growing
He promises much, he has all the means
The desperate fight for your soul begins



Music: J. Petrás – B. Sipos – Z. Bäck   Lyrics: J. Petrás – P. Nemes

The tears of a father – lava that's burning
An eruption that longs for bursting
His throat is hurting, he buries them deep
No one can see them, They're his to keep

 The tears of a son – each one a glowing pearl
The first heartbreak painful and bitter
They hit the ground like falling raindrops
The valley of love gently drinks them all up

 Sometimes sour, sometimes sweet
A single teardrop enough to say it
Hardened outward but aching inside
His heart is covered in bruises and scars

 A grandfather's tears - a book of secrets
Joys and sorrows have filled its pages
He locks it tight, guards it closely
On these pages his tears are the mistery



Music: J. Petrás – B. Sipos   Lyrics: J. Petrás – P. Nemes

Filled with bitter hate to the brim
Driven by desire and instinct
Has no past and has no future
He has all the devil's features

Filled with bitter hate to the brim
Strikes everyone without thinking
Bites to his right, bites to his left
In the end he'll bite his own self 

He hates God and all his creatures
His skin repels holy water
Like a hellhound he barks and cries out
Everything's his prey in his eyes 

Filled with bitter hate to the brim
Doesn't build a house to live in
Sleeps on the ground, he has no friends
All his dreams are full of darkness

 Filled with bitter hate to the brim
He won't share, he takes everything
Fire follows in his footsteps
Carries only decay and death



Music: J. Petrás – B. Sipos  Lyrics: J. Petrás – P. Nemes

The land is all tired, she doesn't sing
Just like a heart that no longer beats
So sadly sways the frail leaf in the Fall
It may never return anymore 

But before it could rest in the ground
Tell them the story, how it all went down
Quiet is the river, still as a tomb
In the frozen ground bones shiver in gloom

 They long for home, like a bird they would fly
The homeland is calling her sons who had died
The camp's still, the battlecries are all gone
The branches are crying, numb is the song.



Music: J. Petrás – B. Sipos    Lyrics: J. Petrás – P. Nemes

No wind can ever bend me
No hail that beats down on me
I'm standing strong and fearless
I was born a fighter

They kick and tear me in vain
I was built to endure pain
The Heavens judge my actions
I was born a fighter

I feel soft rain on my face
I carry my people's fate
Fulfill my obligations
I was born a fighter

 Just come and try to hunt me
I have the strength for fighting
And I'll always remember
I was born a fighter

Were I ever to betray
My dear people and our way
May I suffer my God's wreath
I was born a fighter

If I were a captured  bird
I'd tear out all my feathers
I'll never be a traitor
I was born a fighter

 

EUROPICA -PART ONE


Music: Petrás & Szijártó & Bäck  Lyrics: Petrás & Holán-Egedy

I´m the unflagging old rebel
The outcast the invincible
Inside you hear you hear my yell
My soul is still unbreakable

The ancient chains will fall apart
I feel the fire in my heart
I raise the flag of liberty!
Raised up by fighters and by priests
I won´t be scared of men or beasts
My sword destroys the agony!

The sun shall never rise again
As long as you´re a captive man
The fields and harvest shall grow stale
Until our home is still a jail
Never shall grow the greenest grass
As long as strangers plunder us
Never shall fall bliss-bringing rain
If we don´t fight to win the game!

I saw the conquerors arrive
I saw my folk try to survive
The rivers colour turned to red
Though if the skies will break apart
I keep our history in my heart
Nothing to shame nor to regret

The sun shall never rise again
As long as you´re a captive man
The fields and harvest shall grow stale
Until our home is still a jail
Never shall grow the greenest grass
As long as strangers plunder us
Never shall fall bliss-bringing rain
If we don´t fight to win the game!

The past is falling to the ground
Who bears its burden can´t be found
The future´s birth is full of pain
The opportunists gained their soil
Our weakened mind will be their spoil
Don´t let them win their dirty game!

The sun shall never rise again
As long as you´re a captive man
The fields and harvest shall grow stale
Until our home is still a jail
Never shall grow the greenest grass
As long as strangers plunder us
Never shall fall bliss-bringing rain
If we don´t fight to win the game!

 


Music: Petrás & Szijártó & Bäck  Lyrics: Petrás & Holán-Egedy  

 „Reginam occidere nolite timere bonum
est si omnes consentiunt ego non contradico”

This is the land that has written its name
With huge fiery letters inside my heart
Surrounded by mountains, surrounded by oceans
Whatever may come, you can´t tear us apart!

This is the land that was sucking the bloodshed
Within our combats for freedom and rights
All martyrs are buried in her bloody arms
A new generation´s prepared for the fights

Whatever is waiting I´m still here at home
I´m one of my nation, I´m never alone
Saluting the moon, saluting the sun
Life always is ending where it´s begun
Saluting the moon, saluting the sun
Life always is ending where it´s begun

This is the land that has given me life
Given me all ever needed by men
That´s bearing and standing the huge hordes of wild wolves
Hungrily grabbing whatever they can

This is the country that´s part of my soul
Bleeding from wounds that no one can ease
Always forgiving, always arising
That´s how she´s living for long centuries

Whatever is waiting I´m still here at home
I´m one of my nation, I´m never alone
Saluting the moon, saluting the sun
Life always is ending where it´s begun
Saluting the moon, saluting the sun
Life always is ending where it´s begun



Music: Petrás & Szijártó & Bäck & Tóth  Lyrics: Tóth & Holán-Egedy  

A silent song´s resounding in my heart
The wind blows memories to my mournful mind
About a book that´s going to be closed
Our ears are thumb, our eyes are blind

The unknown comes, tomorrow or today
And may destroy here all it can find
A fleeting tear will come into my eyes
When after all I´ll look behind

Silently I sink to my knees
Thoughts running circles round and round
What shall I do? What can I even try
To save my sweet familiar ground

The silent song is getting harsh and loud
The wind is blowing sand in my eyes
The fight will come, I see the darkest cloud
And within me a sad voice cries

Now I see the end getting closer
In the far there´s white caring light
Oh Lord, here´s all I´m praying for:
Not giving up without a fight!

The unknown comes, tomorrow or today
And may destroy here all it can find
A fleeting tear will come into my eyes
When after all I´ll look behind

The unknown comes, tomorrow or today
And may destroy here all it can find
A fleeting tear will come into my eyes
When after all I´ll look behind

 


Music: Petrás & Szijártó & Bäck  Lyrics: Petrás & Holán-Egedy  

You don’t belong to us ,if you offend your motherland
And forget about the conquered home we had bloodily to defend
You don´t belong to us ,if you´re loyal to foreign nations
And give away just piece by piece what we’ve built for generations

You just belong to us ,if you don´t try to run away
And don´t fear to keep on fighting here until your dying day
Don´t fear! don´t fear! don´t fear! don´t fear!

You don´t belong to us ,if you live your life as a thief
And steal away from the old people their money and belief.
You don´t belong to us ,if you don´t care about life
And manslaughter or kill somebody´s little child and wife

You just belong to us ,if you don´t try to run away
And don´t fear to keep on fighting here until you dying day
Don´t fear! don´t fear! don´t fear! don´t fear!

You don´t belong to us ,if you just bought a home for pelf
And betray us while you´re making some good business for yourself
You don´t belong to us ,if you just came to twist the knife
And make a fool of both our religion and our life.

You just belong to us ,if you don´t try to run away
And don´t fear to keep on fighting here until you dying day
Don´t fear! don´t fear! don´t fear! don´t fear!

 


Music: Petrás & Szijártó & Bäck  Lyrics: Petrás & Holán-Egedy  

When storms are getting closer
Towards our lovely land
The frontier-guard is waiting
And longing to defend

What we have built and raised
Can never be erased
The wind is cold, the clouds are dark
The battlefield is hazed

Though winds may blow
The sun is shining as you go
Worlds fall apart
But you stay brave inside your heart
Frontier-guard!
Though winds may blow
The sun is shining as you go
Worlds fall apart
But you stay brave inside your heart
Frontier-guard!

The ancient shady trees
surrounded by the borders
salute you like a friend
If you accept the orders

What we have built and raised
That cannot be erased!
The wind is cold, the clouds are dark
The battlefield is hazed

Though winds may blow
The sun is shining as you go
Worlds fall apart
But you stay brave inside your heart
Frontier-guard!
Though winds may blow
The sun is shining as you go
Worlds fall apart
But you stay brave inside your heart
Frontier-guard!

 


Music: Petrás & Szijártó & Bäck  Lyrics: Petrás & Holán-Egedy  

In the beginning we were like angels from a fairytale
Trying out our wings and flying without fail
And when the forbidden fruit´s taste came to entice us
We still didn´t care for the future or the past.

And then we started to lose our feathers one by one
Pretending that our growing-up is almost done
But still happy for today we believed in any way
That only the brave are going to stay

And if destiny already called
To a brotherhood that we should hold
Then let´s stand on life´s battlefield tight
And we´ll never be lost in the fight
And if destiny already called
To a brotherhood that we should hold
Then let´s stand on life´s battlefield tight
And we´ll never be lost in the fight

Now we´re searching for life´s meaning with a broken wing
And discovered God´s spirit within everything
But believers and unbelievers always dividing
After every answer a new question is hiding

Then the world started turning with a higher speed
And we saw the evil in each and every need
And when the skies were falling down
And the goddess lost her crown
We were yearning for our lost wings from the ground

And if destiny already called
To a brotherhood that we should hold
Then let´s stand on life´s battlefield tight
And we´ll never be lost in the fight
And if destiny already called
To a brotherhood that we should hold
Then let´s stand on life´s battlefield tight
And we´ll never be lost in the fight

 


Music: Petrás & Szijártó & Bäck  Lyrics: Petrás & Holán-Egedy  

The day dawned cold windy, the sun is almost hiding
Silently a galley on the water waves is gliding
The night was long and shivering, but although our bones are aching,
The fire in our hearts and in our spirits is awaking

But down the line God knows
How long this river flows
If you 're not there in time
To defend the borderline!

Keep your powder dry, fight hand in hand!
if someone´s conquering our fatherland.
Let their fleet be smashed by cannon balls
And beat them ´till the last invader falls

lalalalalaa  row and fight!
lalalalalaaaa, until the night!
lalalalalaaa, row and fight!
lalalalalaaaaa

The hills look blank and frightening but the old and shattered sail
Is leading us and guiding us and showing us the trail
The evening comes closer and to the song that I sing
In the twilight spectres and phantoms started rising

But at the lower bound
Rest will not be found
A wine´s making it’s round
And the sun sinks to the ground.

Keep your powder dry, fight hand in hand!
if someone´s conquering our fatherland.
Let their fleet be smashed by cannon balls
And beat them ´till the last invader falls

   


Music: Petrás & Szijártó & Bäck  Lyrics: Petrás & Holán-Egedy  

From far the drums are calling
The empire is falling
Flames burning the hands
that built our fatherland

Hear us, our Lord
We claim for our right
To keep our ancient land
And never fear the fight

Shaman's
 Ringing voice were lulling our
Cradles
For centuries our souls were forged of
 Iron 
Our folk went through the bloody fight for
Freedom
We'll always be prepared!

Always look around
When hyenas appear
And try to make you fear
Your old famliar ground

The stars guided our way 
 Don't let our history burn
We're calling our Gods
And justice to return

Shaman's
 Ringing voice were lulling our
Cradles
For centuries our souls were forged of
 Iron 
Our folk went through the bloody fight for
Freedom
We'll always be prepared!

 


Music: Petrás & Szijártó & Bäck  Lyrics: Petrás & Holán-Egedy  

A frozen breeze is blowing through the land
Where endless lines of still crosses stand
And where a girl is blankly wandering 
Still searching for her one broken wing

Unsounded crosses just speak to me
What have you seen that I can´t see?
I listen to your history
Unsounded crosses just speak to me

Only a name and rank adorn the grass
A broken helmet hanging above
Faithfully he fought until the end
He gave his life for his native land

Unsounded crosses just speak to me
What have you seen that I can´t see?
I listen to your history
Unsounded crosses just speak to me

Unsounded crosses just speak to me
What have you seen that I can´t see?
I listen to your history
Unsounded crosses just speak to me

Unsounded crosses just speak to me
What have you seen that I can´t see?
I listen to your history
Unsounded crosses just speak to me



Music: Petrás & Szijártó & Bäck  Lyrics: Petrás & Holán-Egedy 

Tiny the path and winding the lane
All the goals far we 're trying to gain
Heavy the stones to build up the hill
But we build it of free will!

Only the cowered is running from chance
When a battle is waiting we start the offense
When our world is burning, we don 't try to flee
Death to the enemy!

When no longer blood and bones face the shields
You already ride on the heavenly fields
After the night arrives a new day

When a raven's guiding your way
I'm praising the Lord to be one of your crowd
One of the last and one of the proud 
Life is a moment in death's mighty hand
To defend your       motherland
To defend your       motherland
Defend your        motherland!

Only the cowered is running from chance
When a battle is hiding we start the offense
When our world is burning, we don 't try to flee
Death to the enemy!

When no longer blood and bones face the shields
Your already ride on the heavenly fields
After the night arrives a new day

When a raven's guiding your way
I'm praising the Lord to be one of your crowd
One of the last and one of the proud 
Life is a moment in death's mighty hand
To defend your       motherland
To defend your       motherland
Defend your        motherland!
