Thousandfold Lyrics
Sprinkled by the trappings
Of words that make the outlines
Blur on the showplace of made history
The folk is willed
To parrot the dished up tale
The lure of a higher meaning
Cheat you had to create
The enemy stereotype
To receive your absolution
A frothy poor excuse for your forray
To disengage from the deeps
Of your encumbrance
Behold
All our gold
Thousandfold
Bereave me!
Declined
Truths ensigned
Forever mine
Bereave me!
March in with ten legions
Whilst the crucial weapon's not the pillum
But the feather held in your hand
Penned in blood
Your tall tales rule the forum
Altering it into the battlefield
I, the spectral guise
Evoking these baring fears
Pestering your conscript fathers
I smile at my demise and while I die
I cherish the roots of my perseverance
Behold
All our gold
Thousandfold
Bereave me!
Declined
Truths ensigned
Forever mine
Bereave me!
Behold
All our gold
Thousandfold
Bereave me!
Declined
Truths ensigned
Forever mine
Bereave me!

As for the meaning:
Chrigel Glanzmann, the leader of the band and the author of the lyrics: "The song is actually about the character of Orgetorix, who was a Helvetic warrior. We know him from Ceasar's book about the Gallic war and according to the offcial version Orgetorix became kind of an usurper and he was put to trial and commited suicide in the end. As we know today this so-called "official version" according to Ceasar is in wide part of it very political propaganda and so, of course, we want to question it. In our version of the story Orgetorix actually did not commit suicide but was basically killed by the Romans."
