Once upon a time here on the plains of
Pohjola
there dwelled a heathen people almost
forgotten by now.
Known as northmen, they
furiously defended their kin,
thus being those
who the baptised never recognized.

They
conquered and plundered, they held to their
honour,
victoriously they advanced with no
plans of retreat.
But even one more evil did
think of the same;
on the island they
encountered an enemy once known.

They
never stood back at a threat
but grabbed their
axes granted by gods.
Yet grown in strength,
their foes had decided
once and for all to
crush them to the ground.

There was a page
to turn in the legends
of the battles against
all plague.
For it's in vain to accomplish
honour
if failing to experience
death.

...in white their blood now
frozen.

In the deep of the waves lies now
their reign -
flame once so proud now dead,
yet their shame
shall the vanquisher forever
bear:
no sunken honour may rise for
them.

Behold the throne for there now sits
the king of wrongful deeds,
the shepherd of
such hungry beasts, not less a beast
himself.
But people submitted to them shall
never disappear;
in the past long gone we can
not forsake what in our hearts dwell.

And
time, it has ended.
