Been meaning to post this for sometime.
The Winds of Uva
By: Chathuranga Fonseka of Funeral in Heaven
I hear the tales of warriors of a forgotten past
Sacrificing in the name of freedom and honor
A battle fought against a tyrannical reign
A cause once patriotical now lost
I’ve felt their blood beneath my flesh, iv felt their fear beneath their hate
I’ve felt the sword unite with flesh, a cause once glorious now lost
An age of oppression and thralldom, a blind eye towards unrightious conduct
The winds of Uva will foretell our future, a cause once to die for now lost.
Warriors who see no fear! warriors who feel no fear!
The invocations of sword and flesh.
The revival of the paths where once our ancestors bled upon, i command.
The rise of Heladiva you patiently will await. Peasant!
RISE!
Twines of hatred, where tyranny once ruled
Pride and glory, where Keppetipola once stood
Embracing veils of false light and hope
Winds Of Uva have foretold our future
I’ve felt their blood beneath my flesh, iv felt their fear beneath their hate
I’ve felt the sword unite with flesh, a cause once glorious now lost
An age of oppression and thralldom, a blind eye towards unrightious conduct
The winds of Uva will foretell our future, a cause once to die for now lost.
Forgotten tribes of Wellassa, I invoke thee!
Fallen warriors, Madugalla, I invoke thee!
Lyrics are based on the Uva Rebbellion of 1817. The band is currently recording this song. I can’t wait.
