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."
