In the shadows of a mountain
A fearless guard is hidden and alert
From the darkening horizon
From high above, closing in, an imminent threat

The sound of the battle horns
The beat of the drums of war
Remind us what we are fighting for
Attack, sons of the North!

Heathen pride
Will not bend, will not die
Will fight until the end
The song of freedom
Over the thousand lakes
Understand
We have to stand
Until the final man
For Fatherland

Times were different
When our sails struck fear in enemies' hearts
These cowards talk of honour
But flee with their winged beasts of metal

Archers, release the rain of fire!

Heathen pride
Will not bend, will not die
Will fight until the end
The song of freedom
Over the thousand lakes
Understand
We have to stand
Until the final man
For Fatherland

On the eve of the battle, the stars align
The outnumbered gather, under the Northern sign
The ground rumbles and clashing the steel
No surrender! We'll die as we lived, free!

In the face of conquerors' might
The true warriors stand and fight
For freedom, honour and ancient lore
We'll defend our land forevermore

Heathen pride
Will not bend, will not die
Will fight until the end
The song of freedom
Over the thousand lakes
Understand
We have to stand
Until the final man
For Fatherland
