Let's embrace our enemies Frankish troops are passing us by They burnt our past and heritage You will greet them you will die Let's deny our Gods and rites May the past be black and burnt For there is a future for us all When the tides have turned Washed away by holy water The sins of our enemies No higher price to stop the slaughter Drenched in blood we bow to thee You can't choose your fate. Whatever there will be You can't turn away. Wherever you will go There is no escape, oh no you can't escape From the twists of fate. Wyrd bið ful aræd When leaders have to kneel and pray And kings have to obey Oh brothers, sisters raise your heads For there is no brighter day Oh Wittekind accept your fare How could you dare to doubt Bow your head and be baptised Or your people'll be wiped out Through murder and hate We will always be led Blindfold by fate
