Mighty alien armies ride

Come to invade our soil

Soon our steel to be tried

Thousands of Europe's elite

Riding towards the south

Soon our foe shall we meet

(bridge)

Heavy well-trained infantry

Shall clash with their cavalry

With discipline and battle skill

Our enemies' blood shall we spill

We secure the high ground

Now they must charge uphill

Soon the horns of battle sound

At last the invaders attack

And firm we stand our ground

Our lands they will not sack

(bridge)

The foe tries to break our ranks

They meet the swords of the Franks

Today to Europe shall belong

An epic triumph worthy of song

(chorus)

Strong we stand, like a wall

Like a sea that can't be moved

Swords do strike, fierce we fight

Our might in battle we have proved

"In the thick of battle the men of the North seemed like a sea that could not be moved. Firm they stood, close to one another, forming as it were a wall of ice; and with great blows of their swords, they struck down the Arabs"

(Chronicle of 754)

Their king We have slain

All enemies flee before us

By night they retreat in pain

Many fell in their flight

When the morning comes again

No enemies anywhere in sight

(bridge)

In bloody battle we did prevail

For Europe's sake we did not fail

Our hated foe we have driven away

For we are the hunters not prey

(chorus)

Strong we stood, like a wall

Sons of Europe united all

Swords did strike, fierce we fought

Their invasion brought to nought
