Review

I was not sure which version of Rebellion I should review; the original by Grave Digger, or Van Canto’s cover? Just to make things clear, both versions are fantastic, because the song itself, is a powerful masterpiece. I was lucky enough to listen to this song live by Grave Digger, in Crete, during summer 2012 and I witnessed the full glory of it. I’m presenting the Van Canto cover, though, because I’m a big fan of their philosophy and because Chris Boltendahl’s unique voice is presented. Van Canto respected the power of the original song and managed to keep all the energy, even without instruments. I’m really skeptical about covers in general, but I listened to this one repeatedly. Enjoy!


Lyrics:

Rumours know that rebellion will break out
Bonnie Prince Charles is in the highlands
to claim his crown no doubt

He raised his Standart at Glennfinnen
calling to our pride
The Jacobites are gathering
I'll be at their side

Armed and ready stand
My rights I must defend
Steel is in my hand

The Clan's are marching 'gainst the Law
Bagpipers play the tunes of war
Death or glory I will find
Rebellion on my mind


The town of Edinburgh fell soon in our hands
Defeated the English at the Battle of Prestopans

Armed and ready
