Falkenbach - Heathenpride lyrics

Once a mighty king ruled in a northern land
His enemies he fought with
Steel and iron hand so many tales were told
His name a glorious sound
"god-like he is" they said
And by no christian laws was bound

Long ago in a northern land

One day they came across the nordic sea
The man of the cross and camped beside a tree
Which was called a sacred one
For all thy heathen hearts
Where sacrifices were given to
Their northern forefathers Gods
The elder and wise men amongst them
Watched distrustful to all those
Of the foreign men with their swords in hand
And the mighty tree was felled

Some days gone by and
The elder men disappointed
They found a grave with a wooden cross upon
So they all gathered at a place
Near the sea at night
They all sat around their king
And a campfire gave it's light

First words were spoken by a
Maiden of great beauty
She whispered silent words to Freya
And began to speak
Her iceblue eyes filled with tears as
She told them all what happened
In the woods three days ago when
Two christian men raped her body

Many people told what happened and what
Was done by the christian men
A girl was burned and three farmers died
Nine children were never seen again

The king drew his sword and
Saddled his black horse
They gave a sacrifice to Odin and to Tyr
The Gods of their war
That might before the morning of revenge!

The stars were shining from a dark black sky
Their swords reflected the light of the moon
Their torches burned red
The flames blazed up high
The hour of their raid
Will come soon revenge!
As the sun at last arose crimson
Beyond the nordic sea
They all stood in armour
With helmet and sword
And with certainty of what
Was forever will be

A furore normannorum libera nos domine

The bells of the christian churches tolled
Woke them up so much to late
Two ravens high above watched
This bloody deeds
When the steel becomes their fate

After hours the most of the christian men
By the northmen all were slayed
The sun high above was shining bright
That day of heathenpride
