Theudno - Amandus lyrics

rate me

[Contemporary history portrays the Christianisation of the Germanic territories<br />

As a beautiful, wonderful thing; however Sagas and chroniclesz prove that the opposite<br />

Is true. Amandus was a French missionary bishop who came to Flanders to spread "the new faith".<br />

He was fiercely persecuted by the common people, who clung to the old faith; but he was<br />

Sadly more successful with the greedy nobility.]<br />

<br />

Slithering from the south<br />

Like venomous snake<br />

Carrying poison to our pagan lands<br />

A herald of a degenerate faith<br />

<br />

The runes are carved, <br />

The swords are sharpened<br />

We are eager to spill your blood<br />

The runes are carved, <br />

The swords are sharpened<br />

Under the cloak of night we'll come<br />

<br />

"Pater noster, qui es in caelis, <br />

Sanctificetur nomen tuum.<br />

Adventat regnun tuum.<br />

Fiat voluntas tua.<br />

Sicut in caelo et in terra."<br />

<br />

"We oppose the rule of your god, <br />

We tread upon the cross of slavery, <br />

We rejoice when your temples burn; <br />

Eternally we hail the one-eyes god"<br />

<br />

Sent by the greed of Clotaire<br />

To deceive the pagans of Ghent<br />

Using trickery and foul deceit<br />

To lure them into spiritual slavery<br />

<br />

The runes are carved, <br />

The swords are sharpened<br />

We are eager to spill your blood<br />

The runes are carved, <br />

The swords are sharpened<br />

Under the cloak of night we'll come<br />

<br />

Smash down our holy idols<br />

Cut down our sacred oaks<br />

The voice of our gods sounds eternally<br />

Destined to outlive your poor wretched lies
