Ategnatos Lyrics

Lyric discussion by EternalTearsOfSorrow 

Cover art for Ategnatos lyrics by Eluveitie

As for the songs title, a Gaulish translation meaning for Ategnatos is ‘reborn’. The term 'Vergobret' is mentioned in the lyrics, a vergobret was a person in ancient Gaul who held the highest office in many Gallic cities. The song seems to be about how others both revered & at the same time feared the power of the vergobret & the ramifications throughout the land as a result of this. Each day of his reign the upheaval of panic was reborn within the people under him bearing witness to his brand of governing.
