about

A song about Wittekind, one of the last pagan saxons.

lyrics

iz hwat, þurislīkaz mann?
tahrą in augini
furi hiz daudaz kunją

wīz þurbum standaną
midi gudamiz
midi fadēr

sa dagaz gamalas wīsadōmas
habjaną fallaną


wīz þurbum standaną
midi gudamiz
midi fadēr

þēah maske, isti þar nuh hupǭ
tō taljaną þat wīsadōmaz

wītagô kwemaną wītaną miz
wītagô kwemaną skawwōną miz
wītagô kwemaną 'blōþisōną' miz

tō strībaną mīnaz fulką


he's what, an enormous man?
tears in eye
for his dead kin

we must stand
with the gods
with the father

that day old wisdom
to have fall

we must stand
with the gods
with the father

for all that mesh, is there yet hope
to tell that wisdom

seer come see me
seer come watch me
seer come 'mark with blood' me

to strive my folk

ago. With a modern twist in production.
