🎵 ABOUT THE SONG

“1400 – THE PRINCE OF LAST REBELLION” tells the story of Owain Glyndŵr, the last native Prince of Wales who led last Welsh Independence Rebellion against English Crown. Declaring himself Prince of Wales in 1400, Owain united Welsh clans in a desperate fight for freedom, challenging centuries of oppression. Blending epic soundscapes with the heartbeat of Welsh tradition, this song celebrates a people's undying fight for justice and identity.

⚔️ HISTORICAL CONTEXT

In 1282, Wales was conquered by Edward I of England, who imposed English rule, law, and castles across the land. For over a century, Welsh identity and freedom were suppressed under foreign control. In 1400, Owain Glyndŵr, a Welsh nobleman, the lord Glyndyfrdwy and descendant of Welsh princes, rose up to reclaim Welsh independence.

Declaring himself Prince of Wales, Glyndŵr united many Welsh clans and led a fierce rebellion against English authority. Over fifteen years, he achieved remarkable victories, including the capture of key castles like Harlech, and established a Welsh parliament, aiming to restore Welsh law and sovereignty. Glyndŵr also sought alliances with France and Scotland to strengthen his cause.

Despite initial successes, the rebellion was gradually crushed by English forces. Glyndŵr vanished from history at around 1415, with no confirmed death or grave. Though outlawed and erased from official records, his legacy endures as a symbol of resistance and national pride.

🕯️ THEMES AND SOUND

“1400 – THE PRINCE OF LAST REBELLION” is a tribute to defiance, unity, and a nation's will to survive.

📜 ======== LYRICS ======== 📜

[Verse 1]
In twelve eighty-two, the dragon fell — Wales under foreign reign.
The English crown took land and law, and silence marked the pain.
For over a hundred years they ruled, with castles on the hills,
But deep beneath the surface, the fire waited still.

[Verse 2]
Then came the call in the year of fourteen hundred,
Owain Glyndŵr raised his flag — a noble, trained, and wise.
With loyal men and ancient rights, he struck at English hands,
And sparks of freedom lit the sky across the captured lands.

[Chorus]
Fifteen years he held the line,
Across the valleys, farms, and mines.
They could not break, they could not bind,
The last rebellion of its kind.
A name the Crown erased with fear —
But here in Wales, it echoes clear.

[Verse 3]
He formed a court, a Parliament, a vision for the free,
Spoke to the kings of Europe, and dreamed a sovereign sea.
Harlech Castle, seized with guile, he held it for three years,
A Troyan horse behind the gate — a legend to revere.

[Bridge – Spoken or growled over slower rhythm]
They hunted him. They burned the land.
They crushed the towns, erased his stand.
No grave was found. No final breath.
Just whispers carried west.

[Verse 4]
The Crown declared him outlawed, his name wiped from the page,
But stories passed through firelight still kept alive the rage.
No tomb to mark, no statue raised — but carved in every heart,
The rebel prince who would not kneel, who tore the world apart.

[Final Chorus]
Fifteen years he held the line,
Through siege and winter's fatal climb.
He may have vanished into time —
But not his fire, not his sign.
A name the Crown erased with fear —
But here in Wales, it echoes clear.

[Outro – Spoken, fading out with marching drums]
Not forgotten.
Not forgiven.
The last rebellion still lives on.
