VNV Nation - Outremer lyrics
[VNV Nation - Outremer lyrics]
Our songs that turned to roar
Onward in our cause, we judged by holy laws
Hailed the sacred creed, fell on bended knee
Death that filled our wake
Blood that stained our hands
Thus we reached the land, sacred man beheld
Vessel of a sin, none shall call him King
Thorns were always gold
Blood that never flowed
Death lay in his wake
Blood that stained his hands
Take away his shield tear apart his standard
Shouting, sanctify this holy lie
Wash your face with tears
Wash your hands with soil
Wash away this holy lie
Dawn across the land, return to ancient creed
Mother, father, child, now and ever be
Praise the wind and rain
Praise the joy and pain
Never havoc cry nor loose the dogs of war
