Battlefield |
It cannot be seen |
But there’s blood on the green |
Only god knows I’m innocent |
Take me, take me home |
A dark seed reigns in me |
Like the storm rules over the sea |
I challenge thee, do not cross this bridge alone |
Don’t dare me now |
The threatening shadows will pass by |
They’re getting closer now |
Open your eyes |
Wake up my dear young friend |
And hate shall fade away |
I will not move, yet |
I’ll stand still, instead |
There on the battlefield he stands |
Down on the battlefield he’s lost |
And on the battlefield it ends |
War and anger shall reign |
The clash of iron can be heard |
By blindness you’re driven insane |
I’m lost in anguish and grief |
Sorrow won’t wane 'til you die |
A shattered body deeply hurt |
And darkness will cover the light |
It’s gone forevermore |
The field’s been left in sorrow |
The father and the son |
They’re gone |
The sun shines bright |
And anger rises |
Lorn and lonely |
Torn apart |
Don’t you think |
It’s time to stop now |
We were charmed and fooled by the old serpent’s kiss |
Let’s pray |
That heaven is on our side |
Through violence and horror |
Shall honour arise |
So let’s pray |
And blessed shall be our leader |
We follow the noble and bright |
Don’t you hear me crying |
Crying |
Come take me away |
I hallow thy name |
There on the battlefield he stands |
Down on the battlefield he’s lost |
And on the battlefield it ends |
War and anger shall reign |
The clash of iron can be heard |
By blindness you’re driven insane |
I’m lost in anguish and grief |
Sorrow won’t wane 'til you die |
A shattered body deeply hurt |
And darkness will cover the light |
It’s gone forevermore |
That’s what minstrel sing |
Join in the horrible screams |
Take part in murderous deeds |
Renowned be the lion-hearted |
Join in the minstrelsy |
Wailing in endless grief |
It eagerly longs for more |
Broken bodies lay down on the ground |
Blood sheds all over the place |
The green will be stained forever |
And hate reigns all over the field |
They keep struggling on in anger |
Fiercely intense |
Outrageous, too blind to see |
And in pain they keep on singing |
We claim the land for the highlord |
God bless the land and our highlord |
War and anger shall reign |
The clash of iron can be heard |
By blindness you’re driven insane |
I’m lost in anguish and grief |
Sorrow won’t wane 'til you die |
A shattered body deeply hurt |
And darkness will cover the light |
It’s gone forevermore |
