Once long ago we fought through snow to reach this faerie land the quiet hills so proud and strong fair countenance beheld we claimed the land but it held us in thrall for all of time that this fair isle belongs to us though gods may wrest it sway many times our kin have roused to spurn the baneful foe now courage has deserted us The gods sit laughing in their hall in hunger spirits lust The Mouth of Hell a finer place to rest their jestful cries Fair Angelcynn stand tall and proud and yet we may prevail against the foe that curse our kin our land, our mother, home Let kin from ages past awake and call aloud our name "Remember!" ancient voices shout "Be Anglecynn again!" "Remember!, Rememeber!" "Be honoured or be slain!"
