Wyrd Bið Ful Aræd: The History of the Saxons

Where the eye of the hanging one sees far And the wise in Irminsul observe the stars Here the holy groves whisper Wodan's name Here our ancient Gods reside in all their fame Angria, Eastphalia, Albingia, Westphalia The four Saxon regions united we are The Thing gathers all so that wisdom may rule Here at the feet of our tall Irminsul So come all my people no fighting you fool Under the peace of the tall Irminsul Here we assemble to speak peace and to speak law And to decide who shall lead us into war All the people come from near and from far There's no king here free men we are

Father: "Thank you wise woman, you herbs and potions have healed the boy" Healer: It is nothing, thank Nerthus, just give the Goddess a small sacrifice Priest: Vade retro Malefica. Seize her Boy screams: "No, leave her!" Father: "Hold it ... please, I beg you, she did no harm" Priest: "She is in league with the devil, stand back and keep still or you will share her fate" On the air I can smell the stench of evil It is the devil's work you exercise Vade retro evil demon I can clearly see through your disguise Heathen you shall burn God's mercy you shall learn The holy cross will purge your power To the blessed water you must yield Arrest her now, put her in irons And in time the truth win be revealed Heathen you shall burn God's mercy you shall learn He's a god full of mercy so your demon he'll defy As the flames burn your flesh your soul to purify So we sing all his glory while the witch burns at the stake We rejoice in his mercy and a peaceful world we'll make Look at her now bound to the pole The most blasphemous sins she confessed But god is great and his mercy endless Her rotten soul in fire shall be blessed See the flames reaching for the sky God has mercy she is purified A miracle, kneel and pray God has mercy on those astray Boy: "Father, why do the Franks hate us so much" Father: "Because we are Saxons my son, be proud of what you are!" Boy: "Then tell me our history father, so that I may know who I am."

I have lived a warrior I've earned my gold To do the bloodwork of Rome And to Sahsnot I send my prayers For I am a Saxon now The warriors' tribe my home Sahsnot We descent from Alexander the Great Landed on these shores and Dirt and dust with gold we paid We are warriors born to kill and to fight Stand in our way And you will die Brothers of the sword A Germanic Horde Oh Sahsnotas Saxons we are Warriors out to kill Yes and kill we will Oh Sahsnotas swordbrothers we are I and all the warriors Of the Reudignians The Angles, Aviones No more Nerthus No priest to rule us For we are Saxon now And free to choose our own Sahsnot

A small band of warriors all clad for war We water the boat and we pull on the oars We cross to Britannia to find easy prey Where Roman rule falls to a state of decay The Saxons come Fight, steal and run Making Wodan smile When we rape all the isle Take to the sea to find fortune and plunder Take to the sea, pull the oars hold on tight Britannia she lies like a virgin so tempting Take to the sea and we'll play her just right Salt on our lips and wind in our hair We are the Saxon, we conquer, we dare Lites Saxonicum they call these shores We steal all their gold take their women for whores

As I lay dying I hold my sax in my hand Not to pass without it A warrior for Wodan must fend Oh Wodan it won't be long When I was young we came here We took this land for our home Hengist our hero and chieftain Gone was the power of Rome White horses float the sky Hengist Hengist fly white horses Win the power in all Angelland Hengist Hengist Saxon forces For you we all did stand Vortigern he called us As we slayed his enemy We saw the land was fertile And we took it as a legacy White horses float the sky Rowena the daughter of Hengist Beautiful but treacherous Vortigern he took her Blinded by love and lecherous O Wodan I won't be long Rowena they are fools and they trust in us You open the door and we'll use the Sax Just kill them all stab them dead Let this lonely hall become their deathbed The night of the long knifes let them feel We take all their land and we pay it in steel

I carve a rune of victory in my Saxe's steel The downfall of the Bructeri their fate now sealed Suitbert the Christian fool we sent away in shame The Siegesburg stands where he lived to prove our claim No more rule of the crucified No more Christian fool And we all follow Hathagat Let the heathen rule Runes of victory Encarved in thy steel Blessed by Sahsnotas We will never yield Runes of Victory No we will never kneel Blessed by Sahsnotas The power is for real The Angrivari beaten and the Suerland in our hand Thuringia it tastes the Sax and adds to our land Büraburg, Amöneburg, the Franks hide behind walls Afraid to meet the Sax in field afraid of their own fall

They arrived in the rain Worn and ragged they came Just two beggars asking for food We took them in as a good host should We took them in for the news they had But their stories were weird and mad About a god to whom men must kneel We put them with the slaves, we are men of steel Slave religion, a slave religion And the slaves they listened For in the end the weak shall stand One just must kneel and regret But exactly what I still don't understand How can you help me Nailed to the cross hung high Free men never kneel and your weakness I defy I'll grind your crucifix to dust And I shall feed it to my swine A slave religion you do preach And your god shall not be mine Slave religion I would have slayed them But hospitality's law forbade They left with a blessing But I prefer to trust in my blade I don't want you to love me For your love is really hate I'll go to Valhall and I'll spit your heaven's gate

Hundreds of years, skirmishes and war Many Frankish kings have tried To conquer us before This time w were beaten Their numbers were too large The Eresburg has fallen Towards Irminsul they march Destruction, Violation, Genocide Without a rule Desecrate, annihilate The fall of Irminsul The knowledge of the ancient Brought down by a greedy fool Exterminate a people The fall of Irminsul Charles declared a total war Extinction of a people no less he swore Children, women, ancient All are given to the sword Murder, blood and slaughter Just to please his Christian Lord And she looked peaceful As she stood so tall balancing The world and the void So peaceful Every second she stood Before she was destroyed Shock, despair, anger Scream for revenge

To the Christian god alone we must pray Execution if we fail to obey New laws by the Frankish king to bind us Free men we have been and we will stay thus ...or we will die ...or you will die Hail Donar take revenge The rivers run in red Hail Donar we'll avenge Defilation and the dead Hail Donar scream with rage As we bring the hammer down The hammer rules where justice reigns Where free men stand to take the pain Hail Donar Wittekind has called to all those who are true To assemble at the grove of Sünte-Loh Hold the Althing, sacrifice our Gods of old Choose a warleader to follow as he told And then the Franks attack... Stand strong, hold your Sax tight The boggy ground will break their line Fall on them. Kill them Make them bleed for all their crime Victory, Victory, Victory Hail Donar The Franks lie in their blood

The sun it rises to a day filled with hope For Charles offered to confer terms of peace So to Verden our warriors came unarmed Trusting his words so the killing may cease In came the heroes of Sünthe-Lo Only Wittekind was missing He did not trust the promise of peace Granted by a Frankish King Betrayal Betrayal Unarmed they were butchered While priests chant their tunes The best of a people lie murdered and ruined Such is the love of the priests and their lord But history books will remember Blood Court There lie the fallen for justice we cry The priests say a prayer and shrug with a sigh The king calls it justice, his word is the law But it was just a slaughter for all that we saw Wittekind, the only hope left for freedom Wittekind, the last one to avenge the treason All the power of the Saxons unite Wittekind, you must fight

As free men under Wittekind We storm the land Rage against all Franks we find Blood on their hand Scara Franzisca Charle's elite Run, escape to Paderborn Their life is all that some could safe Ragged and torn On and on the killing goes The Reaper feeds on souls Warriors doomed to die Sacrifice their lives On and on the killing goes I'm haunted by the souls Those who once stood strong The killing goes on Fresh soldiers come to reinforce The Frankish might So by the Hase river see Death or victory Even our women fight along Raging bare breasted and strong For three days we kill and bleed But in the end there is defeat

Let's embrace our enemies Frankish troops are passing us by They burnt our past and heritage You will greet them you will die Let's deny our Gods and rites May the past be black and burnt For there is a future for us all When the tides have turned Washed away by holy water The sins of our enemies No higher price to stop the slaughter Drenched in blood we bow to thee You can't choose your fate. Whatever there will be You can't turn away. Wherever you will go There is no escape, oh no you can't escape From the twists of fate. Wyrd bið ful aræd When leaders have to kneel and pray And kings have to obey Oh brothers, sisters raise your heads For there is no brighter day Oh Wittekind accept your fare How could you dare to doubt Bow your head and be baptised Or your people'll be wiped out By death and destruction Through murder and hate We will always be led Blindfold by fate
