The Raven and the Rose

The Day of the Raven
The golden spear
Goes soaring over
The enemy's cowardly crowing
With sharpened wits
And steel-like nerve
Bid welcome the battle's beginning

With words our swords
And tongues our spears
The trusted truth for shielding
Our axes smash
The shattered ranks
Their battered line is breaking

Our ravaged foe
Turned Raven's joy
Odin's eyes are feasting
The battle god
Shall claim that ground
New weapons, and ways of winning

The sons of men
Shall sound the horn
The mischief makers' warning
The giant's spawn
Thrice scattered seeds
Know Raven's might is marching

To Northern shores
From far and near
The King and karl converging
The alchemist
The Witches, dwarves
Cry out in terror, trembling

The ogres bend
Their bloody knees
The frantic fiends are fleeing
No more to breathe
That blessed air
The Northern Knights rejoicing

Best pay good heed
Oh horrid host
The Raven's eye is gleaming
Your time is short
So soon shall come
The day of deadly reckoning
