Forming of the band and first two albums:
Rebellion is a Heavy Metal band from Germany. It was formed in 2001 by ex-Grave Digger members Uwe Lulis (guitar) and Tomi Göttlich (bass).
Their first album - A Tragedy In Steel - Shakespeare's Macbeth - is a concept album about William Shakespeare's work Macbeth and includes spoken passages. Spoken passages and narrations are done by members of the band and other collaborators as the story's characters.
The second album called Born A Rebel involved more standard heavy-metal lyrics – about motorcycles, metal, war, etc. – and the music was somewhat rougher.
Viking Trilogy:
In 2005 they released the first part of a trilogy about the Vikings and Norse mythology. First part is called 'Sagas Of Iceland'. As title suggests, lyrics are about viking sagas.
The second part 'Miklagard' is out in 2007. Speed, powerful and heavy guitar riffs repleaced middle tempo songs of the previous album. Lyricalwise, album is about pack of vikings who left their homeland, Sweden, to travel to Miklagard. Every song talks about another adventure they took along the way.
Third and final album - "Arise: From Ginnugagap To Ragnarök" - came out in 2009. Musicaly it's rougher and heavier than the previous two. Lyrics are about Norse mythology, from conception of the world (Ginnugagap) to its final battle (Ragnarök) and finally, its destruction.
Changes in the band:
Uwe Lulis, Simone Wenzel and Gerd Lücking all left the band in late 2010. Michael Seifert and Tomi Göttlich were the only remaining members at the time. In 2011 new line-up was forming. The first new member who joined them was Oliver Geibig on guitar. Oliver worked with the band before - he produced their second album. Later on Stephan Karut joined the band on guitar and David Faifer on drums. David soon left the band because he lived too far from the band and Matthias Karle took his spot. With that final change new strong line-up was formed and soon they entered the studio to record a new album.
Arminius:
The sixth studio album titled Arminius: Furor Teutonicus, with new line-up, was released on October 26th, 2012. Arminius is another conceptual piece and this time, as album title says, album is based on Arminius. Arminius was a chieftain of the Germanic Cherusci who defeated a Roman army in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest.

Ragnarök
Rebellion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the quaking battleground
Pale-faced fallen braves
Arriving in with mighty sound
In line with the Asir battled
And prepared to fight
The one and final battle
To be fought on Odin's side
After years of struggle
Fimbulwinter had arrived
To herald the downfall
And the end of all times
On the lands of Wigrid
Hel's entourage to defy
The Einherjars from Valhall
All predestined here to die
Heimdall blows his mighty horn
A warning for the Gods
Odin rides to Mimir's well
To seek advice, at once
All the Asir and the fallen
Are storming gainst Hel's force
Led by Odin in his armor
With a helm of gold and horse
And when Freyr falls
By the blow of the flaming sword
Ragnarök - Fire's hurling round the earth
Ragnarök - Swallowing the whole wide world
Ragnarök - The prediction is fulfilled
Ragnarök - Many Gods have been killed
The hellhound Garm and Tyr
They both die in their raging fight
Thor, he beats the Midgard snake
Just to perish close aside
Vidar lost his father Odin
Now he seeks out for revenge
Devourer Fenris has to yield
Torn apart by Vidar's hands
Heimdall - Loki, both lie slain
Evil prevails in the end
The lyrics to Rebellion's song "Ragnarök" describe the final battle between the gods and the forces of evil, which is foretold in Norse mythology. The song paints a vivid picture of the battle, with fallen braves and pale-faced warriors marching to the quaking battleground to fight the one and final battle on Odin's side. The winter of Fimbulwinter had arrived, heralding the end of all times. The gods are prepared to fight against Hel's entourage on the lands of Wigrid. Odin seeks advice from Mimir's well and is prepared to lead the Asir and the fallen against Hel's forces.
Heimdall blows his mighty horn, warning the gods of the impending battle. The Asir and the fallen are storming against Hel's forces, led by Odin in his armor with a helm of gold and horse. The battle is fierce, and many gods fall, including Freyr, Garm, Tyr, and Thor. Vidar loses his father Odin and seeks revenge, tearing apart the Devourer Fenris with his hands. However, in the end, evil prevails, and both Heimdall and Loki lie slain.
The lyrics to "Ragnarök" are a powerful and emotional retelling of the final battle between the gods and the forces of evil. The song captures the desperation and bravery of the fighters, as well as the tragic nature of the battle. The lyrics also contain references to Norse mythology, such as Odin's quest for knowledge from Mimir's well and the battle between Thor and the Midgard snake.

Arriving in with mighty sound
@magnusjonsson7714
After the Fimbula winter the Ragnarök will come.
@thibauddanger9322
Great song, but I disagree with the end for in the end Baldr take the power and a new era begins, so evil is vanquished
@Corymbia
sorry to disagree, but Hel and the children of Fenrir survive Ragnarok, so evil is not vanquished
@matthiewlaven5021
I never considered Hel evil.
@Corymbia
Matthiew Laven Me neither now that i think about it.
