A Better Life

[Spoken Intro]

"Attention, battalion!"

"To rank, right face!"

"Forward march!"

"Flank company, lead the way, flank right march!"

"Right flank march...!"

Int. Ravenskill Rebel Command - Night

[Verse 1: Arhys]

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

[Refrain: Arhys]

Still the fires of revolution burn within my eyes

On this perilous road to freedom

He's our one and only guide

[Verse 2: Arhys]

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!"

[Refrain: Arhys]

Now the fires of revolution won't burn for evermore

I see liberty in our future

And it's one worth fighting for

[Chorus: Arhys]

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

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge: Arhys]

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

[Outro: Arhys]

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!
