Chords for Eluveitie - Prologue & Helvetios

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
When I reminisce about all those years, _ I see many things.
_ _ _ Life and death strung together like the mountains and valleys in which we lived. _ _
There was wealth and opulence, but also tribulation and loss.
_ _ There was laughter and song, _ and there was also tears. _ _
But even more than tears, blood was shed. _
And so many were left to their unadorned graves, _ _ unburied.
_ _ _ But to us, death was but another journey.
_ _ And close by the darkness through which we strode, _ there was also light.
_ The light of life and immortality. _
_ _ _ And after all, when I reminisce about those years, I [A] mostly remember our songs.
_ _ We sang, _ [D] as if to drown out the [A] sound of clashing swords.
_ [Eb] As if the battle [Bb] cries fell silent, _ _ [A] _ because [D] war _ _ had lost its meaning. _ _

_ [Bb] And after [Dm] all, _ [Bb] when _ [Dm] _ _ [C] I reminisce [Bb] about those years, [C] I mostly remember [Dm] _ _ our songs.
We are the nation, _ _ [Gm] our goal is [Dm] to stop _ the _ war.
Let's get up, _ [E] let's take a [Bb] stand _ _ _ _ for the independence.
[Dm] Cause we are bound free, cause we are [C] bound to rise.
Cause we [Bb] are back, the best of [C] all of us.
_ Cause we [Dm] are back, cause we [C] are winning.
Cause we [Bb] are love, we're one, [C] we are, [Db] we are [Dm] bound free.
[C] Cause we are bound wild, cause we [Bb] are bound, the best of [C] all of us.
_ Cause we [Dm] are brave, cause we [C] are strong, cause [Bb] we are trying, we're one, [C] we [Db] are.
