Berserkr - The Battle Of Lechfeld lyrics

rate me

[OPENING NARRATIVE:]<br />

Out of the darkness of the East they came, an<br />

Asian horde hell bent on the destruction of<br />

Fair Europe. Village after village fell in<br />

Flames, raped - conquered - destroyed. Many<br />

A man fought until death, defending against the<br />

Endless enemy numbers. Doom seemed certain<br />

For the Western man and his proud culture.<br />

The end of the fairest of peoples and the<br />

Mightiest of Nations.<br />

<br />

Farmers and knights, serfs and their lords<br />

From the green fields of France<br />

To the Northern Fjords<br />

They answered the call of Otto the Great<br />

To help German brothers<br />

Defend Europe's Fate<br />

<br />

The sun shone brightly upon the field,<br />

Armor and horses, red-crossed shields<br />

Grim and determined, thousands did wait<br />

The Battle of Lechfeld was soon to break<br />

<br />

[CHORUS:]<br />

Charge- for your land and your Folk<br />

Strike- amidst fire and smoke<br />

Smash- through the enemy lines<br />

Invasion of Europe, Race against time<br />

<br />

Magyar destroyer, Christian Knight<br />

The charge had begun, a race to the fight<br />

The alliance held strong in the fading light<br />

On an unknown field on a midsummer's night<br />

At the end of the battle<br />

Amidst thousands of dead<br />

The Great Kings stood, beside their men<br />

A powerful lesson for all to face<br />

If you wish to survive, preserve your Race!
