The Quest - Excelsis

Leopold’s quest through Zofingen to Willsau started

On July the eighth on a summer day

Freedom now, for the Austrian king, my lords

He is taking the future on his own tale

Hail to the banner, spears and shields

The quest to Sempach, (in order) to fight

Dark cloudbank in the eastlands, silence before the storm

(The) Austrian lord is sending out his messengers

Commands have been given, hornsounds across the sky

The waiting has begun, under control of the night

Let us stay till the helmets are broken

We fight for Leopold’s right

Quest to the battle

Of the Helvetic armies

The curse of the future

It goes along with you

Quest to the battle

Of the Helvetic armies

Pages of historical tales

Are telling you the ancient news

The machine drops me off at the forest nearby the pack

My hands are bleeding wounds, but the way must go on

I feel the steps of the Austrian knights on the ground

The landing was wrong, I can’t wait for too long

Sang awag

It is the wrong place in the middle of these trees

Reis awag

To the territory with confederation breeze

Travelling away

Through the hole

To another place

Away from enemies

Of this time

To the city of lakes

Quest to the battle

Of the Helvetic armies

The curse of the future

It goes along with you

Quest to the battle

Of the Helvetic armies

Pages of historical tales

Are telling you the ancient news

Und I reise, cifach witer, an angere ort, as isch gschider

Schauter drucke, cifach witer, glichi sekunde, 1000m witer…

As isch jetz sowit, ig ha scho fasch gnue vo de reise dur die zyt

Uheiligi schmarze, die loh mir ke rueh, zum gluck ischs numme so wyt!

As isch jetz sowit, ig ha scho fasch gnue vo de reise dur die zyt

Uheiligi schmarze, die loh mir ke rueh, zum gluck ischs numme so wyt!

As isch jetz sowit, ig ha scho fasch gnue vo de reise dur die zyt

Quest to the battle

Of the Helvetic armies

The curse of the future

It goes along with you

Quest to the battle

Of the Helvetic armies

Pages of historical tales

Are telling you the ancient news

I’d go through the hole of time, where the lights are shining bright

Like a rebirth through a firewall

I feel my aching skin, he takes me to the other side

Somewhere at the lake

Between green meadows and people they pray

Lonely warrior, take a break…

I lost my soul in this place, like visions of a brave world
