It cannot be seen
But there's blood on the green
Only god knows I'm innocent
Take me, take me home
A dark seed reigns in me
Like the storm rules over the sea
I challenge thee, do not cross this bridge aloneDon't dare me now
The threatening shadows will pass by
There're getting closer now
Open your eyes
Wake up my dear young friend
And hate shall fade awayI will not move, yet
I'll stand still, insteadThere on the battlefield he stands
Down on the battlefield he's lost
And on the battlefield it endsWar and anger shall reign
The clash of iron can be heard
By blindness you're driven insane
I'm lost in anguish and grief
Sorrow won't wane 'til you die
A shattered body deeply hurt
And darkness will cover the light
It's gone forevermoreThe field's been left in sorrow
The father and the son
They're goneThe sun shines bright
And anger rises
Lorn and lonely
Torn apart
Don't you think
It's time to stop now
We were charmed and fooled by the old serpent's kissLet's pray
That heaven is on our side
Through violence and horror
Shall honour ariseSo let's pray
And blessed shall be our leader
We follow the noble and brightDon't you hear me crying
Crying
Come take me away
I hallow thy nameThere on the battlefield he stands
Down on the battlefield he's lost
And on the battlefield it endsWar and anger shall reign
The clash of iron can be heard
By blindness you're driven insane
I'm lost in anguish and grief
Sorrow won't wane 'til you die
A shattered body deeply hurt
And darkness will cover the light
It's gone forevermoreThat's what minstrel sing
Join in the horrible screams
Take part in murderous deeds
renowned be the lion-hearted
Join in the minstrelsy
Wailing in endless grief
It eagerly longs for more
Broken bodies lay down on the groundBlood sheds all over the place
The green will be stained forever
And hate reigns all over the field
They keep struggling on in angerFiercely intense
Outrageous, too blind to see
And in pain they keep on singing
We claim the land for the highlord
God bless the land and our highlordWar and anger shall reign
The clash of iron can be heard
By blindness you're driven insane
I'm lost in anguish and grief
Sorrow won't wane 'til you die
A shattered body deeply hurt
And darkness will cover the light
It's gone forevermore
