Last Night of the Kings - Van Canto

The castle is lit with candles and torches

The carriages of the nobles arrive in front

The smell of splendour and decadence

And nobody can foresee

The masters and the mistresses are walking through the hall

They are smiling and laughing and showing that they are tall

They don’t recognize that we’re waiting there

And just nobody can foresee

This is the last night of the kings

We are the folk

And we have the right

To stand up and to fight

For an independent life

We are the force

We are the might

And we will stand up

For an independent life

The ball has begun and we’re closing our trap

Inwardly we’re gathering ourselves

While the dance comes to higher pace

Still nobody can foresee

Joining the circle, in black robes unknown

Unsheathing our swords and get ready to dance

Our hearts are filled with the will to survive

In this last night of their life

It’s a murderous, murderous ball night

We are heroes

Heroes of the night

We are ready to live forevermore

Our gods lead us through this fight

On and on We are one and on our way
