Lyrics
[Verse 1]
See them gathered on the plains now
See an army strong and vast
As long as one of us remains here
None of them will ever pass
[Verse 2]
Here they come, so raise the shields high
Like wolves they show their teeth
None of us will ever yield now
To the scavengers beneath
[Verse 3]
We're outnumbered ten to one here
Still, I love the odds
We will sacrifice them one by one
Send them off to the gods
[Chorus]
Soon we will be gone
A free will sacrifice
As free men we are born
And free, we shall die
[Verse 4]
Here they come, ten thousand strong
Charging up the hill
This day will be both hard and long
They move in for the kill
[Verse 5]
Hold the line, don't let it break
Use your sword and spear
A glory death for all awaits
All who knows no fear
[Verse 6]
Hordes of men, they hit the shields
Like waves to break away
We face our woven destiny
And we won't fear the grave
[Chorus]
Soon we will be gone
A free will sacrifice
As free men we are born
And free, we shall die
A free will sacrifice
As free men we are born
And free, we shall die
