Heathen throne - Ensiferum with lyrics!

This hate inside me,
It is constantly growing.
Years of hollow lies,
Made pagan hatred rise.

They came with their troops,
Destroying land and roots.
Abominations under the sun,
They and their poisoned truth.

One by one my people fell,
Under their deceptive spell.
How many sons of the
Northe, had to fall?
before our eyes could see;
This isn't how it should be!

"Under the Northern star
We shed our blood.
With the call of a battle horn.
We raise our swords.

Behind the fields of blood,
There's a haven for us.
Deep in the woods of the North,
Rises the Heathen Throne" - Kalevala

Upholder of the skies,
For too long has your name been
despised,
Give us your strength and courage.
When we meet our nemesis.
On the shores that used to be,
The place we called home.

Our land and faith are raped,
Somehow they're going to pay.

Grant us your revenge,
We are not afraid of death.
Let none of them ever more, EVER MORE,
Lay a hopeful gaze upon the sky!

This song is so epic and deep. The whole "From Afar" album is almost infinitely re-playable due to it's musical and lyrical depth.

Such an epic album. Easily my favorite from 2009

@oblivionspawn07 Haha, yep.

Surprisingly though, I don't listen to all of the songs all the time. This album, for me, is one you gotta listen to all the way through to get the full feeling effect. and it is rare for me to have time for that. I always listen to stone cold metal though hah.

They ask to be granted revenge.....I think this beautiful song that remembers the pagan past is a pretty amazing revenge in itself!

Loving Ensiferum and Finland since the first album,

@ReignForever Depends where you are in Canada. Newfoundland, Labrador.. This is quite popular over there. Plus, given the history helps a lot too. Makes living in Canada a bit sweeter at times.
