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
