|
A foolish man believes |
|
that he will live forever |
|
If he from fighting flees |
|
and lives the coward's way |
|
|
|
When swords and spears remain silent, |
|
the serpent's venom still runs strong |
|
as they conspire in times of peace |
|
the thread of your life brittles |
|
|
|
Old and weak you have grown |
|
A disciple of the pale Christ |
|
An insult to your ancestry |
|
You are a coward for eternity |
|
|
|
The way of the cross you have chosen, |
|
Your pagan soul was drowned |
|
A harmless baptism they called it; |
|
they murdered all you stood for |
|
|
|
Your body is fed, your spirit choked |
|
The gold they offer comes at a price |
|
You may be alive and breathing |
|
Your essence died a long time ago |
|
|
|
Ideals and comrades you betrayed |
|
to consort with the foes of your folk |
|
We may have died a long time ago |
|
Only to be accepted in Wuotans halls |
|
|
|
And now you die the straw death |
|
Despising the man you became |
|
Maybe alive for a little while longer, |
|
You are a coward for eternity |
