From the bonus DVD, section "A CLOSER LOOK AT THE LYRICS":
"A song about Vercingetorix - a Gaulish warrior who definitely went down in history!
During the Gaulish war he tried to unite the diverse tribes of Gallia (who partly even were at enmity) under one banner and so repel the Roman invasion and end it once and for all.
The lyrics portray a passionate speech of Vercingetorix how he probably could have held it in front of assembled rulers of different Gaulish clans."
Personally I'll just add that this venture failed miserably - Vercingetorix finally gave up and surrendered to the Romans in order to protect his people. He was publically executed in Rome.
Is it just me or is there some "V For Vendetta" influence visible? ;)
