A shadow fell upon the north When to our soil came the cross The fair lands of our fathers Did suffer an unimaginable loss Priests and soldiers took away Our way of life, our very soul Our gods they strove to cast out And no longer were we whole Our holy oaks were cut down The white Christ’s churches did rise Our hearts were now filled with woe Oppressed by priests and their lies (chorus) Blood of the gods Flows through our veins With our gods we stand To forever crush our chains For centuries we fought the Christ With every defeat bitter tears we wept In our hearts still true to our gods But memory faded and long they slept Never did they abandon us their kin In song and story the gods did survive Even when their worship we forsook In our blood they were always alive The wanderer strode the earth no more Yet he rode with the Wild Hunt as before No longer the thunderer walked among us Still his hammer let the thunder roar (chorus) Our blood is theirs as theirs is ours Too strong for Latin prayers to subdue The white Christ never truly victorious To our gods our blood always was true The time of awakening is now at hand Our gods emerge from their age of sleep Our swords will sing their names out loud The time has come for our foe to weep As long as we draw breath our gods are with us Their might forever present in our blood Their glorious temples and statues resurrected Never again shall we bow to a false god (chorus)
