Fatherland

In the shadows of a mountain A fearless guard is hidden and alert From the darkening horizon From high above, closing in, and 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 (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 (clashing the steels) 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
