A Better Life

Lyrics

Attention, battalion
 To rank right, face
 Forward, march
 ♪
 As fearless leader of the Ravenskill Militia
 The blood of warriors flows throughout my veins
 My brother's gift remains my secret ammunition
 It is our hope, our pride
 A catalyst for change
 Still the fires of revolution burn within my eyes
 On this perilous road to freedom
 He's our one and only guide
 For many years I've seen
 Our people starve and suffer
 How many more will die before we stand and fight?
 They ask me "Arhys, could things be any tougher?"
 The answer's no surprise: "Yes, you bet your life!"
 Now the fires of revolution won't burn forever more
 I see liberty in our future
 And it's one worth fighting for
 We all long for a better life
 Like a dream that can't be denied
 This is the moment
 Now is the time
 Freedom if we live or if we die
 ♪
 I shall give him a better life
 I swore this vow to my dying wife
 Sure she would not survive
 Peacefully she slipped away
 The meaning in my life
 Was born that day
 And so I found the strength to carry on with this crusade
 It is my fate
 Evangeline, you lived a life of misery and pain
 Evangeline, I'll never let your memory die in vain
 Evangeline, my heavy heart still bleeds
 I dedicate my life to set him free
 And I will carry on to plant the seeds
 I promise in the name of our new son
 This battle won't be over until it's won
