Paroles et traduction Heidevolk - The Alliance

The Alliance

Over de Noorder zee, doelgericht, met vaste hand
Snijden onze schepen door de golven naar het Brittenland
Ver van huis en haard waar Urth onze draaden spon
De toekomst verweven met het land daar aan de horizon
Strijdend voor een vreemde heer, in een oorlog ver van hier
Betaald met nieuwe grond onze toekomst in 't vizier
Angel, Jut, Fries en Saks strijden zij aan zij
Samen in ons streven, het nieuwe heim nabij
See their ships cutting through the mists
As whispers in the wind herald our bliss
Forces from abroad have heeded our call
An alliance is forged to aid us all
Their ships have crossed the cold waves
Our allies, crawling every river, every stream
Saxons on our shores bleeding for our cause
Deeds to our land, reward their stand
The wind now whispers of a threat in the east
Friends will be foes as the alliance is breached
See the fires burning in the heartlands
Our enemies, crawling every river, every stream
We thought our salvation emerged from the channel's violent waves
Yet we invited our doom, for you intended to stay
You betrayed us and degraded, you took our hearts away
You dubbed us "stranger" and called our lands your own

The Alliance

Across the North Sea, purposeful, with steady hand
Our ships cut through the waves to the land of the Britons
Far from home and hearth where Urth spun our threads
The future intertwined with the land on the horizon
Fighting for a foreign lord, in a war far from here
Paid with new ground our future in sight
Angle, Jute, Fries and Saxon fight side by side
Together in our quest, the new home nearby
See their ships cutting through the mists
As whispers in the wind herald our bliss
Forces from abroad have heeded our call
An alliance is forged to aid us all
Their ships have crossed the cold waves
Our allies, crawling every river, every stream
Saxons on our shores bleeding for our cause
Deeds to our land, reward their stand
The wind now whispers of a threat in the east
Friends will be foes as the alliance is breached
See the fires burning in the heartlands
Our enemies, crawling every river, every stream
We thought our salvation emerged from the channel's violent waves
Yet we invited our doom, for you intended to stay
You betrayed us and degraded, you took our hearts away
You dubbed us "stranger" and called our lands your own
