Eluveitie Lyrics

"The Raven Hill"

Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Nū samos toaget
Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Nū samos toaget

Foretold, the three blest fires
Burning in the darkness
Forebode, the arrival
Of the ones in distress
Ailing yet proud
The children of Antumnos
Foregone, the raving flight
Of the black harbingers

From the north they came once been in chains
They have cast off their crushing yoke
And they will be a beacon of light
To the glory of the ancient one

Here on the raven hill
The monument was built
None shall ever forget
And the sacrifice no one shall regret

Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Nū samos
Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Nū samos toaget

Foretold, the arrival
Of Lugus' kingly ravens
Foregone
The unleashing of the awen
Shining now, but forlorn once
Is the noble daughter of the sun
For all eyes to see behold
'Tis ogmios' august legacy

None shall ever forget
And the sacrifice no one shall regret

Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Nū samos
Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Nū samos toaget

Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Nū samos toaget

Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Nū samos
Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Ōrō, suavelos atrebin
Nū samos toaget
Atrebin
Nū samos toaget

The band explained that this song was inspired by the legend of how the Gallic city of Lugdūnon was founded. The same tale inspired their song "Lugdūnon" from the album "Everything Remains (As It Never Was)" (2010).

According to the Gallic tale, Lugdūnon was a new start for characters Momaros and Atepomaros which escaped from persecution and built a city, that also became their memorial.

The chorus of "The Raven Hill" is based on the Irish traditional song "Óró, sé do bheatha, bhaile" the title of which means "Oh-ro, welcome home!". The Gaulish lines mean, "Oh-ro, welcome home! Now summer's coming!"
