๐ Lyrics
He hung on the windswept world tree
Whose roots no one knows
For nine whole days he hung there pierced
By Gugnir, his spear
Swimming in pain he peered into the depths
And cried out in agony
Reaching out he grasped the runes
Before falling back from the abyss
He gave himself unto himself
In a world of sheering pain
So that we all may live our lives
By the wisdom that he gained
You doubted him and spread their lies
Across the world with sword in hand
You raped our souls and stole our right
All for the words of mild-mannered man
You listened to mild-mannered god
And put your faith in deceitful words
Your powertrip was paid by blood
In kindness' name you spilled our blood
I refuse to submit to the god you say is kind
I know what's right and it is time
It's time to fight and free our minds
Let me die without fear as I have lived without it
So shut your mouth and spare my ears
I'm fed up with all your bullshit
After a thousand years of oppression let the berserks rise again
Let the world hear these words once more
"Save us, oh Lord, from the wrath of the Norsemen"
Let the world hear these words once more
"Save us, oh Lord, from the wrath of the Norsemen"
Our spirits were forged in snow and ice
To bend like steel forged over fire
We were not made to bend like reed
Or to turn the other cheek
He grasped the runes
They're ours to use
Whose roots no one knows
For nine whole days he hung there pierced
By Gugnir, his spear
Swimming in pain he peered into the depths
And cried out in agony
Reaching out he grasped the runes
Before falling back from the abyss
He gave himself unto himself
In a world of sheering pain
So that we all may live our lives
By the wisdom that he gained
You doubted him and spread their lies
Across the world with sword in hand
You raped our souls and stole our right
All for the words of mild-mannered man
You listened to mild-mannered god
And put your faith in deceitful words
Your powertrip was paid by blood
In kindness' name you spilled our blood
I refuse to submit to the god you say is kind
I know what's right and it is time
It's time to fight and free our minds
Let me die without fear as I have lived without it
So shut your mouth and spare my ears
I'm fed up with all your bullshit
After a thousand years of oppression let the berserks rise again
Let the world hear these words once more
"Save us, oh Lord, from the wrath of the Norsemen"
Let the world hear these words once more
"Save us, oh Lord, from the wrath of the Norsemen"
Our spirits were forged in snow and ice
To bend like steel forged over fire
We were not made to bend like reed
Or to turn the other cheek
He grasped the runes
They're ours to use
