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
